Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
I was surprised to find flowers still blooming this week, not in my garden but in the little town of Arlington, on our way home from Bellingham.
I’ve learned to recognize these darlings – Anemones – a bit spent but still cheerful.

They have the most beautiful center of any flower.


Imagine finding Roses still in bloom, but I did, in the little municipal garden.


These Hydrangeas were in the landscape nearby; I adore them in purple, don’t you?


Finally, it should be no surprise that Christmas Cactus is blooming, tis the season. This one was in the restaurant where we ate lunch.

It was fun to get away for a few days. I may have more to share on that later, but for now I’m stopping by for #The Flower Hour

They look great considering the month!
Exactly! 😊
Beautiful pics of the anemones and other blooms, Susanne! That must have been fun to see. We still have those little purple asters growing in the fields. Thanks for sharing for Flower Hour this week!
Thanks, Terri. I loved seeing so many flowers still blooming in the middle of November! 😊
How pretty – not giving up on the season yet!
Thanks, John! I was happy to find some flowers still in bloom!
Beautiful blooms.
Thank you 😊
Nice flowers, especially considering the time of year.
Thanks, Graham. I was happy to see them. 😊
It’s always a treat to find flowers still blooming at this time of year 😀 These are lovely, especially the anemones!
Thanks, Sarah. I was surprised to see the blooms in the middle of November! 😊
We had 10″ of snow this last weekend – and surprise! My roses just outside my front door (which we seldom use) had bloomed!!
What a pleasant surprise! 😊
It was!
Beautiful and perky blooms!
Thank you!
