December 2020 Deb Tallman is marveling at the continued bloom (and scent) on he Knockout rose . The Confederate Rose, planted from canes this spring is still putting out blooms even after a frost. Paula Hartman’s Trumpet Vine has “finally” bloomed.
Gail McLamb shared these photos of her late summer garden. Just lovely!
Night-blooming cereus is the common name referring to a large number of flowering ceroid cacti that bloom at night. The flowers are short lived, and some of these species, such as Selenicereus grandiflorus, bloom only once a year, for a single night. From Verna Kuyper’s beautiful garden
I (Deb Tallman) had a grand time at the Tryon Palace Fall plant sale. In addition to perennials and annuals, they also had trees, shrubs and herbs for sale. I can’t wait for this to all go …in my garden! I’m especially curious about the dwarf pomegranate trees.
Five months ago this was a cutting- now my Confederate Rose is getting ready to flower. End of summer flowering Coleus (Deb Tallman)
Ann Simpson shared this photo of her night blooming Cerus. Ann relates that: ” It blooms for one night only once a year and has a fabulous scent .I had five blooms this year. It is a tropical so the plant must be inside in the winter. I took the picture this wee , it lives in a pot on my deck in the summer.”
Ann Simpson also shared a beautiful Gloriosa Lily form …in her garden
Maureen Loomer shared these two surprises from …in her garden! A late Yellow Swallowtail caterpillar just about pupate and a Lycoris Radiata that decided to pop up behind her rosemary!

Here is a lovely arrangement Debbie Durham made for a friend from …in her garden
Not exactly in the garden, but too neat not to share! Last year Jack and Debbie Durham’s Night Blooming Cerreus bloomed (a 1 night only performance) and a friend took a picture and made a sheet of postage stamps with their flower in full bloom.
