a bloom for the Harvest Moon
Sept. 25 was the Harvest Moon.
My "Queen of the Night" or "Night-Blooming Cereus", Epiphyllum oxypetalum, started its 4th cycle of blooming this year on 9/24.
This is one of the 40 blooms which finished this cycle on 9/29.

Beautiful! Do you grow these indoors, or is it warm enough where you are to grow them outdoors?

mild climate in San Diego
Cameron,
Sorry about the delayed response to your question. We just returned from a camping trip to our local mountains.
The mild climate in San Diego allows tropical plants to flourish. This is a photo of the "Queen of the Night" plant with its spent blooms. At the time of this post, all of these dried flowers have fallen off.

Neat! I'd love to be able to grow plants like that. Although, I really can't complain too much, because we have some pretty tremendous plants here on Coastal BC.

The blooms of fall
These photos were taken yesterday.
This year is the best that I have had with blooms on this "Candy cane" hotbiscus bush. These hybrids were developed in San Diego County. The blossums are huge lasting 2-3 days on the plant, one day if cut (whether the stem is in or out of water).
I move the potted plants around the trailer depending on their needs for space and shade.

Looks very nice! I have three hibiscus bushes here that do very well. Presently I'm digging up and potting all of my plants to move them all to safety when I start building my house in the spring. Your trailer looks right at home nestled amongst the plants.
I'm trying to see the structure in your avatar. Is it your home? Mid-century modern?

Just before our first freeze - these confederate roses bloom late. I caught the reflection on the way out the door to go to work. Almost looks like the flower was trying to catch a look at itself in the window reflection..

Chinese ground orchids
The Chinese ground orchids are in bloom. They grow like gladiolas from corms. I wish that I had photographed my light yellow orchid before it dropped all of its prolific blossoms. The epiphilliums are developing their buds, straw orchids (epidendrums), tillandsias, roses, and dendobriums are just starting to bloom. This Spring is quite beautiful but a challenge for those with allergies.

I just ripped out my garden, so no pictures from me this year.

ClancyBoy, re post 51, somehow I had missed viewing the winter photos on this thread, and I am in awe of your rose reflection in the Airstream. That is a beautiful shot, calendar material. Congratulations on having a good eye and ready camera--not to mention a terrific Airstream and a lovely rose  ~G

George W. Marston geranium
This geranium is in my front yard. It was developed in San Diego by Point Loma geranium breeder Jim Zemcik and dedicated in 2006 to George W. Marston, a prominent citizen and merchant prince of early San Diego. He and other philantropists were responsibile for attaining land that become Anza Borrego State Park, the first Calif. state park, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
The plant can be purchased from The Friends of Marston House, in San Diego.

Flowers in the backyard
More flowers from my backyard. Unfortunately the cascade of small white dendobrium blooms are finished.
I have been inspired by "Antiquepedaler" to bring a pot of geraniums on trips to decorate the picnic table.
Happy trails to all,
Larry
