As opposed to the rest of the country, it has been fairly warm so far this year (thanks to La Niña) and we have only had a few light freezes in my garden despite the dire warnings of hard freezes. As a result, I do have some blooms. They are a bit scraggly due to the frosts, but blooming.
Turks cap:
Rain Lily (I watered the other day as it is pretty darn dry and crispy out there):
Pink Skullcap:
Rock Penstemon:
Yellow Flax:
Autumn Crocus. (As I am viewing these crocus on my blog here, with the flax above, it occurs to me these would look wonderful planted next to each other. I am making a note of that for next year.):
Meyer Lemon blossoms (My goodness, these smell wonderful right now!!):
Japanese Aralia blossom:
And finally the christmas cactus is finishing up blooming:
Happy bloom day everyone!

I love the decorated agave, and that pink skullcap is just lovely. I have only a very few indoor blooms - but I am giving away a book full of blooms. I hope you'll visit.
LOL you almost fooled me with that first photo. Love it!
Gorgeous garden! The decorated agave is hilarious, too. What a beautiful color for a Christmas cactus!
Love the Christmas agave! The soft sunset colors of the cactus flowers are beautiful.
