I can’t believe it’s November! But here to ease the arrival of the oncoming winter months are some October flowers, still looking fantastic despite the calendar.
Happy Friday.

Here in North America we might be heading into winter, but in Andy’s part of the world, the reverse is true. I hope you take a few minutes to visit his interesting site at Ebb Then Flood by clicking the link above.

October 11’s Friday Fleurday
It may be autumn, but many flowers don’t know that, especially, it seems, the roses. Here’s a sample.
Well, maybe some roses know about it!
Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

Late Summer Hydrangea
I’ve been following the progression of this hydrangea bush since before August 26 but only started taking photos of it then.
It’s a very tall bush, approximately 2.5 metres (about 8 ft) and is very well established in a sheltered area.
By September 4 it had changed a lot.
The yellowish-pink clusters had become a rosy pink with very white tips.
As September went along, the white highlights started to disappear.
The clusters have now become a deeper pink. There’s a bit of white left here and there but not much.
I have enjoyed watching the changes in this hydrangea bush over the last six weeks and have been surprised at how beautifully it has matured and developed. I thought that its blooming cycle was going to be completed much earlier. How wrong I was!
Happy Tuesday.
October 4’s Friday Fleurday
There are many autumn colours right now, but also lots of summer pinks still. Here’s a sample.
The hardy hydrangeas and chrysanthemums are continuing to do well while many of the other pink species are starting to fade. Pretty great for October, though. 🌸
September 27’s Friday Fleurday
I’ve posted a lot of flower pictures this week, but I think there’s always room for more.
Happy flower Friday.
