Fertilizer Friday

Not fertilizing and not flaunting, just sharing what's still happening in my North Florida gardens.
Drop by http://tootsietime.blogspot.com and join us.

Spider Lilies or Hurricane Lilies
This is the Dahlia bud from the last post open. The fall flowers seem to be a little darker in color than the late spring early summer ones were.
Painted Lady Hibiscus in a container. I lost the one I had last year due to the ab-normal cold temps we had. Maybe bringing this one in for the winter will save it.
I pulled up or cut down all of the yellow and orange Cosmos that bloomed this summer. Not before it went to seed though. That is one thing I love about a longer growing season. You can see more Celosia still popping up too.
I may actually like this bright Amaranthus in front of the Mexican Bush Sage after all.
Butterfly Ginger--my first year with this, thanks Ms. Doris. We have had an abundance of yellow jackets this year. Not a favorite of ours by any means.
BES Vine is doing great in both locations I have let it grow. It must prefer cooler temperatures as it is slowly starting to bloom. In our zone it has an aggressive nature.
This is a lighter shade of pink Celosia...Millions time millions of seed...any takers?

Somehow our Grapefruit Tree made it through the artic blast of 2009..not quite as many fruit, but enough.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today I am Thankful for the change of seasons.

The amaranthus is a gorgeous colour.

Your spider lilies are so pretty! This is a bulb I've never had success with so I enjoy seeing them but still wish I could grow!

Thanks for this refreshing walk through your flowers.
Blessings,Ruth

Susie said...

I have that same ginger but so far no blooms. It actually has done pretty good thru our hot summer.

You have a beautiful garden. I am glad you posted the spider lilies. We have them popping up all over now and I never knew what they were until now....Christine

NanaK said...

Your autumn garden is lovely. I just bought a package of BES vine seeds and am considering planting a few now to see what happens. My celosia is blooming away happily now that I quit trimming it:) Thanks for letting me know about that.

Lois said...

Floridagirl said...

Yes, citrus here seemed to be pretty tough through the cold. But the hibiscus...I have about ten different hibiscus, all of which were decimated by the arctic blast. They did recover though. I just posted the 'Painted Lady' on my blog... She is such a beauty!!! And I love that amaranthus/sage combo! Very colorful and tropical! Oh, how I wish I had some hurricane lilies! I need to find some time to leave this po-dunk valley and do some real nursery hopping....

Lanny said...

What an incredible combination your Amaranth and Sage are! Color, texture and shape - fascinating! Have a great Friday.

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Hi Darla, I always love seeing your flowers --no matter what season... You have such a gorgeous garden.

How's your elbow/arm/wrist????? Hope you are doing fine now... Did you ever have the other surgery?

Hugs,
Betsy

Yummy grapefruit and the best thing it's Florida grown. Have a good weekend. How close are you to the BIG day. Where did you find your tablecovers.

Ohhh, How pretty. We were further up the East Coast for a while, but apparently moved before your cold winter. Then again, we moved to where snow is a regular occurrence so we were cold too. Fortunately, my senior mom hadn't started any gardening projects. :) I'll have to tell her about your winter - she'll be very interested. And thank you for the lovely photos. :)

It must be handy to have your breakfast growing on a tree in your garden.
I love your red Spider lilies. A bright color for a fall day. Have a wonderful weekend.

Your garden is still looking wonderful. It's nice to have such beautiful colors in autumn. I'm impressed with your grapefruit as well.
