November 2024 in the Northern Hemisphere
« on: November 12, 2024, 08:01:54 PM »
Fall-flowering crocus start late this year in my garden. This is an unusual seedling of Crocus speciosus.





More blue from an Iris foetidissima gone wrong.



A seedling of Arum italicum.

Hi Mariette,

It is nice to see some of the “pretties” from your garden.



Temperatures have finally cooled to average levels for this time of year. A few plants did not burn this past summer and we are actually getting some autumn color. Pictured is Acer japonicum ‘Green Cascade’.



Pictured is leaf variation in a set of Cyclamen coum seedlings. This species does well in our Sacramento, California garden.



Crocus speciosus aff. bloomed in our garden during October. I acquired the bulbs from a local garden center about 10-15 years ago. All bulbs in the package grew and appeared to be the same clone. They have never set any seed. Over time the bulbs have multiplied and I have moved some around in our garden. This selection seems to do well in our garden.
