Last Monday, November 16th I was cutting back perennials in Trumbull, Connecticut in USDA Hardiness Zone 6b. I noticed a couple of beautiful late season blooming flowers.
We’ve already had several hard frosts. Most of the leaves have fallen off the trees and been cleaned up.
Late Season Blooming Flowers
I first noticed a grouping of Honorine Jobert Windflower (Anemone × hybrida ‘Honorine Jobert’) flowers glistening in a sunbeam.
A little farther away a Fairy Rose (Rosa ‘The Fairy) was strutting its stuff.
Here’s a picture from a distance.
I admit late season blooming flowers don’t compare to mid-summer. In the cold and gloomy days of late fall I’ll take whatever I can get.
