November Foliage

It's time for Pam's Foliage Follow-up.  The foliage is pretty this fall.  The temps have been on the mild side, but still chilly enough that I haven't made it out as much as I'd like.  It doesn't help that it gets dark early.  I do enjoy the light in the morning when I go to work, though.

The perennial geraniums of different kinds are turning pretty colors.

The grape hyacinths have been sending leaves up in the fall, but still making it through the winter.

Arum is a weird plant.  I'm glad it's not invasive in my garden like it can be some places.

Larry's pink blooming spireas are a pretty color for fall.

I hope the euphorbias make it through the winter.

I like the colors of the grasses, such as this heavy metal switchgrass.

This may be the only sweet woodruff that lived after I transplanted some from other parts of the yard.  It looks ready to do some spreading.  The annual it's mingling with whose name I can't remember is still nice and green.  It's supposed to get down to 14 tonight, so I'm thinking these may not be green tomorrow.

I didn't know this persicaria would have such lovely fall foliage.  I hope I still have the tag out there to remember the name of it.  It did not have many blooms this year, but I have great hopes for next year.

Here's a foxglove that isn't ready for winter.

This euphorbia was green in the summer.

'September Charm' anemone is still nice and green.

The new statice I got from a farmer's market vendor looked good until recently.    Still, the colors are kind of pretty.

This is the verbena a friend gave me from her acreage.  I didn't expect the foliage to look this pretty.

I'm excited for the pasque flowers I planted in front to grow and look as pretty as these that have been in this spot for several years.

This yarrow gets more moisture than it likes, but it hangs in there, and is almost looking like it thinks it's spring.

The amsonia hubrichtii is past its prime, but still showing nice fall color.  I kind of like the brown of the liatris, too.

Amsonia tabernaimontana and baptisia are a good combination in all seasons.

I am looking forward to seeing the blooms of the hellebores and the spring that will bring them.

I'm still enjoying the little bluestem grasses, which won't be as little next year.

I am pleased that I found a little start to this gooseneck loosestrife, which has grown nicely in this tub. I hope it overwinters in it.  When the late afternoon sun shines on it, it lights up beautifully.

I wonder how many wild columbines will come up from this plant.  The purple coneflower leaves look like fall, too.

The strawberry plants under the bench are looking healthy.

Oh, dear, I didn't get this put in the egress window.  I better get it brought inside tonight.

I hope you are well and warm.  It's the middle of November, and in a little over a month, the days will start getting longer again.  That makes me smile.
