Trying to put the garden to bed for the winter but a handful of late bloomers won’t let me do the work that needs to be done. Have had roses in bloom even into early December on a few occasions but can’t recall clematis in flower this late. But there they were, on the sideyard fence. These photos were taken mid-afternoon, Tuesday, Nov. 8. /Joe Barkovich photos.

Gorgeous. You can just cut a bouquet for your sweetheart and close the gardens down. Good brownie points!!! Enjoy the day Joe.
Those are beautiful! An unusual November. I have the nicest pot of geraniums I have ever had blooming away right now!
