The Garden in November

In between rain and hail showers, over the course of the day I managed to get around the garden to see what was in flower. (Lots of photos - feel free to skip.)

Coral Charm herbaceous peony:

Somewhat battered by the rain.

Portuguese squill, close to finishing:

Scented pelargonium, just starting:

Chinese ground orchids, none properly open when I took the photos:

Columbines and echiums:
I found a daylily!
The roses are just starting their first flush of blooms:
Digger's sppedwell is flowering all over the place:

A bit of a cheat as there are only buds on this kangaroo paw:

Wirilda - Acacia provincialis
This Calothamnus is looking very bedraggled:
Grevillea "Bronze Rambler":
Yellow buttons (Chrysocephalum, used to be Helichrysum):

Eremophila:

Melianthus and Euryops daisy in front:
Lavender:
Alstroemeria:
Kniphofia:

Bearded (and wet) iris:

Carpobrotus (pig face):
Sweet peas:
Foxgloves:
Aeonium:

And that's probably about enough! It isn't everything, but this post is getting too long.

You have such a lovely variety in your garden--it's like a quilt of flowers...
those peonies are just beautiful...thanks for sharing--it is very cold this morning only 32 degrees (F)--brr--so your pictures are really welcome...;))) hugs, Julierose

A valiant effort. The rain has done wonders for your garden, it has really filled out. Peonies are spectacular as always despite looking a bit beaten about.
Squill has to be the best name for a plant!

No skipping here! Your garden photos are the main reason I come here! I really enjoy seeing what's blooming in your neck of the woods and how well your garden is coming along.

So much floral prettiness!! And with the remains of the rain on them, it only made them more delicate looking. Love the Peonies and the Foxglove!
