Good morning everyone! Temps are in the mid 40s right now but it's damp, overcast and windy and feels colder. Rain is in the forecast through Saturday compliments of TS Ida. I shouldn't complain, though, as we're on the edge of the system. The New Jersey shore is facing heavier winds and rains as well as coastal flooding, possibly the worst in a few years.

Here's a spot of color from a few days back. Not much is still blooming in my garden, but this gazania plant is still hanging on.

morning TW...mostly cloudy here and climbing to mid 50s but we've had full sunshine so far this morning....

Sounds just like our weather today, TW, but we were just slightly warmer.

my Cimicifuga racemosa started blooming a few days ago

the European Ginger (an evergreen) is looking great!!

My Baptisia australis didn't bloom this year, but the cool weather has changed the leaves into a neat colour

Neat shots. I've heard of Black Cohosh because of its use in hormonal therapy, but never knew it as Cimicifuga racemosa. It's quite attractive as is the European Ginger.

Should your Baptisia australis have bloomed? I agree, the color of its leaves is very appealing and unique.

it bloomed last year...but this year has been really weird in a lot of ways!

BTW nice gazanias!!

GTO, those blue leaves are so striking. Very nicely composed photo.

Gorgeous greenery; the leaves are beautiful. It looks as if they have a bit of iridescence.
