I'm really sorry I missed the What's Blooming for November. I'm in Dallas, zone 7b. Salvia greggii does well -- my 'Hot Lips' and my 'Raspberry' are still in bloom, though barely. My Mt. Emory Sage still has some red flowers.

Biggest surprise is the tender perennials Salvia micro-phylla 'Snow Nymph, 'Peach', and 'Coral Nymph'. Tender, my foot. They bloom!

The sneaky osmanthus started blooming. I say sneaky because their flowers are so small yet potently fragrant . The sweetness carries so far it takes me a while to remember just where that smell is coming from. So nice to have its freshness after all the musky flood odors that passed by.

I'm sorry, 2 days late, I've only managed to get one in before!
I've got a couple of sorry flowers in my scottish garden in the wet and cold.
I enjoy looking at the posts from hot places! (Though I don't know what your zone system is)

Hi carol,

I posted my GBBD a day late. I am also in your zone so I did not find many blooms but there is lots of seed heads and foliage color.

I know all about not quite facing the bitter end...as evidenced by my container emptying job being dragged out so long. :)
Your sedum looks great!
There's definitely procrastination blooming in my garden...oh yes, I know what it looks like. LOL
I wish my one tiny little helleborus looked like yours. It doesn't seem to want to grow.
My post is up (at last!)

Whew, I got my post up just before midnight. I love your sedums, Carol.

Like Annie said, there's a lot in bloom here in Austin on the eve of a possible light frost, but I had to go back to Green Hall Garden to find it. Here's my Bloom Day post.

Hi Carol,
I love your seedum...the color is so bright! I didn't include mine in the post because it is a yucky brown!
Here is my GBBD post for November! Jan

The container is a lovely splash of color!

Thank you for hosting this!

We have a late first freeze this year, and I've really been enjoying the last blooms.

Carol,

I'm imressed you still have your foxgloves. I've avoided the frost here in NJ zone 6b, so have a lot more to share--perennials, annuals, even the autumn cherry tree--this month than I expected:

I think you and I have the same I can't do away with it it if isn't 100% dead philosophy with pots. I struggled to toss one little half dead petunia in a pot today.

I love hellebores! We used to have really fabulous ones back in the Northwest, but down here, they will not grow. I miss them.
