Last days of november in the garden

With temperatures approaching 40 C (100 F) my energy and will to work in the garden simply fade but the water lilies are nevertheless happy with heat!






A pond dweller!


Some Roses, not looking at their best with the heat





Hydrangeas




Amaryllis, they are so pretty!



Hibiscus, they certainly love heat







This is the canopy of my apple tree


See you next time!

  1. Lovely flowers, especially the water lilies - a real treat to see in the middle of our coldest part of the year. Thanks for letting me visit.

  2. You've lots of floral color, MDN! Of course, I adore those water lilies but the rest are looking good to me too, despite your (yikes!) 100F heat. Are your Amaryllis growing in the ground, or in pots? I was able to naturalize them in my garden beds in my former garden but haven't been as lucky here this far - it may just be too dry.

    1. Hello Kris! The amaryllis in these pictures are planted in the ground but I also keep them in pots, they grow easily from seed, I got lots of them that way. They grow well in the ground in areas where they receive morning sun and afternoom shade I think that's the key to grow them, too much sun damage them.

    1. Prunella, hydrangeas are gorgeous plants I wish I had more shady areas to have more of them!

  5. The water lilies are such a treat to see, they are so beautiful.

    40 C is so hot, it makes photographing even beautiful flowers an unpleasant experience. Stay cool and hydrated in that heat.

    1. HB, water lilies are incomparable beauties the jewels of the pond, I have to repot them (20 of them) this summer but the pond is deep and the whole process is extremly exhausting and I have no one to help me with it.. I'll see what I can do!
