Even though it’s November and getting colder and darker by the day, I found some confused flowers this week. Imported trees and plants that should be dormant were in bloom.

A rose, above, and an ornamental cherry tree were beautiful in the rain.

Moth mullein was battered but blooming on an almost sunny day.

Northern magnolia buds were swelling in anticipation of spring … even though it was late November.

Alas, these flowers will be no match for this week’s (finally normal) freezing temperatures.

  1. So confused!!! I can’t imagine a lilac bush in full bloom now. My goodness. I wonder what this will do to spring buds and flowers. I hope you and your husband had a good Thanksgiving, Kate. Have a relaxing weekend.
