November blooms

Good morning Folks ~ Sorry for being MIA, and thank you Nell for asking about me. I have been under the weather but am feeling so much better now. Hope all of you are well. Besides a cold/flu bug that dragged me out, from so much coughing my right rib cage area and muscles were sore and strained. Then, I moved a heavy, terra cotta pot by sort of rolling it along and strained my knee so that I was hobbling along with a cane and in pain. Sheesh! My mind still thinks I can do anything, but I can't. I need to ask for help from DH and not think I can handle everything myself, because is reality, I can't, not anymore.

Anyway, here I am. I've been able to get out to do some gardening work and took some pictures the last two mornings. The weather is so enjoyable down here now. Gardens are loving not being blasted by the suns direct rays overhead.

I will look forward to seeing your wintry scenes, since it's not something we see down here. I have enjoyed all the pictures of your fall gardens and colors.

This first picture was taken this morning.




This is St. Francis in my shed's garden.




This is spiderwort with Madagascar periwinkles in the background.




Mm. Laurette Messimy, a real sweet little rose.




This is Golden Sun.




Sweetly scented Frangipani.




Red Ixora blooms in the background,
morning glories midway and a flame vine in the foreground.




This is a close-up of the flame vine.
Someone told me the name of this once,
but I can't remember it right now.
I also have the bright orange one.




This is Duchesse de Brabant.




A cassia.




St. Francis




Shed garden




This is Louis Philippe roses with a bougainvillea the same color.




Another of Duchesse blooms.





Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful;
they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.
