Even though it's freezing rain out side,
I still have a few.....................
I think I posted some on, let's see, I think
it was Alan, that asked, brain drain!!! alankhart\'s questions/Blooming now
And Bill and I were telling a member about what is good for fall color
Hiedi\'s Questions
There's alot that can take some cold and frosts.
And where you have them also is a factor, close to a house, or under a tree, helps protect them a bit too!!!
And different zones too, I'm due for a FREEZE ters ters sca shk

Among other things, I have a Rhodie that thinks it is time to bloom... right next to the house on the north side. By the water faucet. Otherwise... Tomatoes, RHP, Zinnias, Ice plant, Red Apple, Peppers, a lot more, but all close to the house or on the deck (covered)so they missed the couple days of frost we had a while back. <img border="0" alt="[clappy]" title="" src="graemlins/clappy.gif" />

All you people in the cold. Jeepers. In the south everything is STILL blooming and now my mums and camelias that bloom in the fall and winter are blooming too. We are in need of rain, believe it or not after all the rain we had this summer.

Bestofour,
I love Camelia's but have never grown them. Are they difficult?

Renee-

I'll bet you red-flowering plant is a Pineapple Sage! Mine is right on the verge of blooming. Go pinch the leaves and see if they smell like pineapple. My neighbor has a big, beautiful one in full bloom now and it's a knockout!

I was admiring our tree hydrangea this morning. Of corse, it bloomed in the summer, but now the white flowers have turned mauve and the leaves have turned yellow and it's quite a stunning color combination. Anyone else have these?

Daisey,

Camelias are no problem here. They are pretty much pest free, have survived through our years of drought and buckets of rain we had this past summer. I have three shrubs, different colors. You just have to rake up the ones that fall off so you don't get a fungus.
