Today I noticed something unusual in my walk through the garden. Most of my favorite bloomers were extraordinarily long and in the salvia family. I went back through the pictures and put a full length pencil next to the blooms to show comparatively. Here are my favorites bloomers for fall:

| camelia |

 |
| mexican sage |
 |
| chinese hat |
 |

 |
| lantana 2 varieties |
 |
| yellow angel trumpet |
 |
| cardinal spire |
 |
| this is a pass-along summer bean? |
 |
| giant celosia |
Amazing, right? So, even though the leaves are dying and falling there are still some beautiful bloomers this time of year. I want to leave you with the "find". Who doesn't love ladybugs? They are the gardeners best friend. I found this little guy tucked in the mexican sage bloom. It was day after a cold night.
Happy Gardening and Happy Thanksgiving!
