Yesterday I went outside to bring in all the plants that needed to come in ahead of the arctic weather we’re having right now, and took a few minutes to enjoy the bright sunshine and the last, last flowers blooming.

Small magenta/red and purple hardy fuchsia flowers still blooming in mid-November.

From the archives. These yellow alstroemeria flowers, or Peruvian lilies, are wonderful even if they have no scent, and very long lasting in a bouquet. Very easy to grow, too.

It’s from the opposite side of the year, so maybe tulips are blooming now in Australia? In any case, a visit to my tulip archive yielded this cheerful picture.
