Winter arrived. Oops, no, false alarm. :)
I woke up to a raging blizzard. Was all ready to hunker down for this long, dark season. And, then, the next morning I woke to more sunshine & happiness. Which prompted one last walk in the garden.

As if to say: Why? Why can't we move to California? I've heard it's toasty warm out there!

Note the NEW FLOWER BUD in lower left corner. |
Scabiosa Pincushion Flowers have shrugged off a month of freezing temperatures and 4 snowstorms.* Still gracing us with flowers and buds!
Other parts of the garden are not fairing as well. Purple Coneflowers are not so purple any more.
Helianthus has seen better days....

Plus the scraggly remnants of the Heavenly Blue Morning Glories ~ bruised, battered, torn and tattered ~ by early winter's gale force winds.

I've been lucky enough to see the summer version but there is some beauty in the winter one as well.
That pincushion flower is amazing! I didn't have much luck with this plant a few years ago, but it certainly looks happy in your garden. We had our first snow last week--and then a tornado on Sunday! I think I'll take the snow:)
A belated Happy Bloom Day--I'm late, too.
Wonderful to see a photo of "Bad Dog"and Buddy. They looks fabulous. Tell them
hello from me.
