November garden surprises #2..................

As mentioned earlier in the clematis post, November 

continues to keep Mother Nature busy here in 

the southeast.

We are lucky to have many warm and sunny days this late 

in the year, and they seem to coax the late blooming 

of a few plants we had almost written off.

Just looking about my garden over the weekend, besides 
the huge mass of angel trumpets (Brumansia) shown in an 

earlier post, I discovered a few new blue blooms mixed in 

with the dried heads on a hydrangea - wow, this made me happy......

......and yes, that dear old Peace rose just hasn't given 

up yet either, several large blooms this weekend and 

there's even another bud ready to open. Perfume is 

still quite strong so I cut one and brought 

inside for the kitchen window sill.

Lo and behold, then there was this peeking out of the 

pot at the bottom of the front steps! 
Yes, a morning glory bloom. Pale pinky white, 
no longer sky blue or purple. 
There must have been seeds remaining in this Summer 
pot - I had pulled all plants before leaving for Europe 
last month - but again, a lovely surprise.

Same clematis, my Nellie Moser, shown in the last post.
 I really got on a texture mission following 
Donna's photo challenge this past Saturday! 
The flowers were perfect to play with... adding a little 
fantasy is always fun.
