Title: Fall Flowers
Post by: bestofour on Oct 11, 2012, 07:29:05 PM
This is how I know it's fall.  This dainty camellia is the first to bloom every year.

And this is the lemon tree Dianna sent me two (I think) years ago.

That knockout rose is beautiful... :grinnnn:

I have 2 lemons growing.   Wonder if it's going to be warm enough for the lemons to ripen.  I over wintered this in my little greenhouse.

I stand corrected.  I just spoke to Johnny and he DID pay John.  He went by and paid him this morning.  I should have known.  I think Johnny has SUCKER tattooed on his forehead.

Will camellias grown in GA Jen.  I've never noticed any when I've been to Ginger's.
Title: Re: Fall Flowers
Post by: Tina on Oct 12, 2012, 07:54:46 PM
Camellias grow in California. They probably would in Ga too.

Post by: sunsoaker on Oct 12, 2012, 10:07:00 PM
what about N. Fla?
Title: Re: Fall Flowers
Post by: Tina on Oct 12, 2012, 11:49:54 PM
hey should. They do need acid food. We can grow small azaleas too. Just not rhodies. Those need more chilling than we can give them.
Title: Re: Fall Flowers
Post by: bayou girl on Oct 14, 2012, 01:36:42 PM
camellias and azaleas grow just fine in georgia and NW florida.  i've had them and/or had friends/relatives with them both places.  i just don't have any.
Title: Re: Fall Flowers
Post by: sunsoaker on Oct 14, 2012, 06:28:53 PM
I knew azaleas did. They are everywhere around here.
Title: Re: Fall Flowers
Post by: Tina on Oct 14, 2012, 06:46:15 PM
Only smaller azaleas will grow here. If we try bigger ones, they dry up faster than roots can suck up water.
I wish camellias smelled as good as they look.

For all  you living with the cold and snow here's what's growing in my yard today.  The clematis doesn't usually bloom in October.

Really nice, Sheri.

Post by: Dianna on Oct 26, 2012, 12:11:57 AM
Pretty. I really like the white one... :good2:

I have some purple clematis blooming now, too, Sheri. And some brugsmansias. I don't have pics yet, but I will try to remember to take some... :grinnnn:

Post by: sunsoaker on Oct 26, 2012, 07:13:55 AM
I had one Brug bloom a few weeks ago, and now there are 6 bud on the tree. I have been waiting  patiently for them to bloom. I did not realize they were fall bloomers.
Title: Re: Fall Flowers
Post by: Tina on Oct 26, 2012, 07:45:16 AM
Brugs are not so much fall blooming as they are waiting for the best weather for each flush of blooms. And those often happen in full moon times.

Purple Clematis, but it looks pinkish...

"Roberta Red" azalea, but it looks more pink to me... :grinnnn:

Don't you wish the colors were named more true? Pretty anyway. Thank you for sharing.

Tina, it actually upset me that the azaleas were pink. I wanted red and ended up with those. I let them live though... :giggle:
