Even though it's nasty outside, I still have lots of flowers in bloom, but I'm sticking to the ones potted up on my deck so I don't have to get drenched to take photos.
The begonias are looking fabulous. The dragon wing begonia I brought with me from Austin really love the maritime climate and are just gorgeous:

Some yellow ones:
More yellow:
Some pink ones:
Another plant I'm so glad to be able to successfully grow again are fuchsia and they love this weather:
Here's the one that had a zombie revival from what I thought was a dead for sure after a million degree summer but came back in winter in Austin and traveled to the PNW with me to live a glorious new life:
Also brought from Austin and loving the maritime climate more that I ever dreamed it would is firecracker fern. It's blooming crazy right now and still attracting Anna's hummers even in mid October:
I'll be moving this to the pop-up greenhouse shortly, but am leaving it out as long as possible since the hummers enjoy it so very much:
Another one that really has been doing well that was a surprise to me is the Kangaroo Paw. It keeps blooming away:
The geraniums are still blooming beautifully. A pink one planted with fuchsia:
A purplish ivy geranium:
A bright red one:
The purple dahlia is still blooming:
As is the purple-stripey petunia that seeded iteself into the garden that I dug up and put in a pot so I could see it up close every morning:
The guara keeps on blooming. I like this one because it reminds me of Austin *smile*:
And I shall close out this bloom day post with the labuffarosa rain lilies that just keep on keepin' on. I had no idea they would love it so much up here:
Happy Bloom day everyone!
