A late bloomer – really late. I can’t say I’ve ever had anything blooming in my garden at this time of year – and this is the only plant that is. It’s November 16th and there is a single Scabiosa caucasica ‘Perfecta’ flower merrily swaying in the frosty, foggy breeze. How sweet and beautiful is that?
Our planet has never been this warm at this time of year. Everything is lasting later than usual. Gorgeous flower.
The weather has definitely been a bit loopy this year, and the garden is showing it.
What a gorgeous color! And your photograph is gorgeous, too. It would make a beautiful print! 🙂
Thank you! I love that soft colour, so pretty.
Funny Sheryl, as we had a similar flower do exactly that too! Can you imagine, at this time of the year?! It is a lovely plant too!!
It’s so surprising! This has never happened before….
That is a wonder Sheryl! I hope it keeps flowering for a while in pure defiance of the season!
I had high hopes…but we had a really severe frost last night and it looks like the pretty little thing is finished. Oh well, it was sweet while it lasted.
Such is this amazing year
Definitely a surprise!
wow
A surprise and a delight!
Very beautiful
🙂
I love scabious plants! They are so hardy and so pretty! Lovely photo Sheryl ❤
Thank you! They are one of my favourites, as well. And their hardiness is so valuable in the garden!
Lovely!
The colour and the structure of the flowers always fascinates me. 🙂
Mine is still blooming also.
What an incredible year for flowers! This particular plant doesn’t bloom continuously for me (here) – it never has – but it usually blooms in late June or July, slows down when it gets really hot and dry, and then starts up again in September. This year it stopped blooming when we got the snow and cold in October but then it suddenly made a fresh appearance last week…I have never seen it do that before.
It’s both sweet and beautiful…and amazing. What a gift.
Absolutely! So wonderful. 🙂
I know!!! I still have lilies, purple cone flower, and the odd dandelion. Its very pretty!! xo Johanna
Autumn is definitely hanging on nicely…it’s fantastic that you still have that many blooms. Wonderful!
We had a beautiful Indian Summer but with the storm tomorrow,it will be over
I hope the storm wasn’t too horrible and the weather has stabilized. Stay warm!
We have been very fortunate having another glimpse at Alpine Willy the Clematis. I have never seen the warm weather last for so long up here in Prince George and I’ve been here for 35 years.

It’s astonishing, isn’t it? It’s amazing that your clematis is blooming at this time of year…really special!
Better late than never.
So very true! This particular plant has been a real treat this year – it bloomed more often than usual!
This is so artistic
Flowery Prose.
