Autumn and Flowers

in #hive-1949132 years ago

Autumn can be a scarecrow for many plants and flowers, some of which can't stand the low winter temperatures waiting around the corner. I look with interest and pity at how the flowers in my little garden are behaving now that autumn is in its midst, and when it could happen at any time that temperatures drop to zero degrees Celsius.

So far autumn looks more like summer, but that won't last long and many plants already know their time is coming to an end.

One of these is the black-eyed Susan.

This plant that has graced my garden all summer still retains some of its flowers. Others have already withered, respecting its life cycle as it has been written for thousands of years.

Fortunately, this is a perennial plant. It will soon go into hibernation but in spring it will grow again, bigger, prettier, and more vigorous.

Other flowers are still doing well and show no signs of being scared of winter and cold. The best example is the rose, which remains in bloom until the snow covers it. Only frost will end its existence this year.

This is my favorite rose. An English variety. It's called Rosa "Princess Alexandra of Kent". It is a rose created by David Austin in England and I understand this gentleman is famous. He deserves it, because this rose is exceptional, blooming from May until late autumn.

There are also a variety of plants that only do well in autumn. This is the time when they start to flower and they have a short life of only two months. These are chrysanthemums!

It's called Splash Energy!

Chrysanthemum indicum...

I remember my childhood and youth waiting for autumn to see these flowers, in so many shapes and varieties and with a special fragrance. Now, we can see these flowers in the summer too, grown and trained in greenhouses...

In addition to these flowers grown in my garden soil, there are potted flowers, generally flowers that do not live naturally in the climate where I live. These flowers, in order to survive, will be kept in the warmth of the house to get them through the winter.

Asclepias curassavica, known as tropical milk

Mandevilla sanderi, Brazilian jasmine, is a vine of the genus Mandevilla.

Abutilon pictum, is a plant native to Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay

Ruellia simplex or Mexican petunia

These plants will continue to delight me even after the snow covers my little garden. These plants will be next to me in the house. Moreover, as of now, these flowers will be the models for my winter photos.

Thank you! I like splash energy too...

My flowers stand well, perhaps due to the warm weather that has been since October. However, the walnut tree in my garden has started to drop leaves.

You have a warmer climate than I do. My trees have lost most of their leaves.

Wonderful.
Flowers always look beautiful no matter how they look.

Flowers are a great gift to us, humans. Thank you!

Love the variety of flowers, explanation on lifespan in your region. Some love to linger others bloom then hide away to surprise you once again in the next new season.

Thank you! I wanted to show more of the flowers that I can care for in the garden and at home during the cold winter months.

One forgets how fortunate we are in warmer climates where flowers change, something for each season.

In cold climates tending many plants indoors, only way to bring some colour and cheer when the harsh winters clear.

I've always dreamed of warm weather, there are many advantages!

Cannot compare, different plants using very different strategy to survive.

Autumn, a season of change, time for socialising or even quiet moments by the fireplace with a movie.

An idyllic image! I hope it happens that way.

Yay! 🤗

I think it's a good coincidence that I saw your blog post. While photography isn't really what you're talking about, it reminded me how things can be taken without exerting too much effort. What I mean by that... you don't have to take it seriously and force yourself to come up with the best option.

I think I could relate this to some traits of being perfectionist. When something goes wrong according to plan, sometimes it becomes difficult to reroute to the original plan. You get clouded and forget to remember that there are plenty of ways.

I told all this because I had created a photography blog before, and there came the time when I felt like I wasn't doing great. And before I knew it, I wasn't posting anything - different from how enthusiastic I was at the beginning.

After I've read and saw your photos, I really did felt like I can do that again and never worry whether someone would get to read them or not. Because truly, consistence was something I lacked.

Consistency and patience are key, plus interaction with others. It sounds simple but it's not...
Yes, consistency first!

That is the hardest. Reaching people, who actually read your posts. When you announce the winner of a giveaway, and people write "count me in", then you know that they did not really read your post.
