GBBD: OCTOBER BLOOMS AT TROPICAL TEXANA

Long hours at school are making it hard to get out in the garden...even with near perfect weather here in Houston. Here's what's blooming now even though I'm mostly a shade garden. To see the whole collection, visit our host Carol at MayDreamsGarden. She's over on my sidebar favorites. Viva la Flora!

                     Pinecone Shrimp Plant                                           

The blackfoot daisy wins the prize for longevity of bloom. Solid all summer!

This one is unusual. It is an aluminum plant in bloom. I've used aluminum plant for a number of years as a landscape foliage plant in zone 9.  It's drought tolerant to a degree and root hardy.

I'll be back for Foliage Followup on the 16th. Here's a little window into that post.

Pecan leaves on our Norfolk Island Pine.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Gardening!
