November 2024 in the Northern Hemisphere
Leena:
Beautiful Crocuses and other plants everyone. :) Those Meconopsis foliage are so impressive.
It snowed yesterday 10cm, so winter has started here. These pictures are from last week, but no flowers, just pretty green evergreen foliage mostly.
Eupatorium seed heads in backlight.
Epimedium ex 'Amber Queen' from seeds.
Other Epimedium foliage and Helleborus multifidus in the middle.
Leena:
Polystichum aculeatum
Cyclamen purpurascens does well here and has been always hardy.
More Cyclamen seedlings
Mariette:
Margaret, Your choice meconopsis may well be a reason to move to Scotland or a region with similar climate - unfortunately, they are impossible to grow in the area where I´m gardening.
Leena, Your garden looks still so atmospheric at this time of the year!
This seedling of Crocus laevigatus looks too fragile to stand our weather in November.
Clematis texensis ´Duchess of Albany´doesn´t mind the -2°C during the last nights.
Véronique Macrelle:
Ooh, pretty Clematis, Mariette!
I've always wanted the texensis species... but after a failed sowing and then reading about how difficult it is to grow, I gave up... is this variety doing well in your garden?
I have this problem with crocuses: I love them, but they are often destroyed by the rain or, worse still, never open because they don't get enough sun...
Mariette:
Crocuses are among my favourites, too, but, unfortunately, the rodents share my interest, if only for crocus as a nutrient. :( Also, the weather in our area is often so windy and rainy, that some seasons one hardly may enjoy their flowering. Which is why I bet on snowdrops and cyclamen, mainly, but wouldn´t like to miss out crocuses, nevertheless.
I wonder why Clematis texensis should be difficult to grow? More than 30 years ago I bought this variety in Britain, and it´s the only clematis which lasted with me for so long. I treat it more or less like a perennial and cut it back almost to the ground in late autumn.
