November Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day
Nov. 17th, 2010 12:31 amI'm a bit late for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day this month, but I do have a fair supply of flowers for it. Below is a shot from the end of October of the flower bed along our front sidewalk. The big white flower is sacred thorn-apple (Datura wrightii), which produced two flowers in late October that lasted about 36 hours each, but nothing since. The clumps of tiny white flowers are Eastern Mojave buckwheat Eriogonum fasciculatum), which is still going strong. The red flowers are California fuchsias (Epilobium canum 'Calistoga' hybrids), which was just starting to bloom when I took this picture. Now it has more flowers but is more prostrate - the rainstorms have flattened it.
