The 2022 Autumn has been very brief...
On October 9, our Hydrangea paniculata, Limelight still blooming like it would not end!
More in detail with perfect sunlight.
This was already blooming on September 8—the longest lasting blooms we've ever seen!
Check post below about 'Our Garden Blooms in Summer
On October 21, Pieter did bring in a giant red Hibiscus bloom.
Placed it in our Repoussé Silver Rose vase...
Showing here its proportion a little better...
On October 30 when we left for North Carolina and Tennessee it was very dark and drizzling so I could not capture our Sugar Maple.
Photo got taken on November 4, day after our return and as you see—most leaves are already down and not even turned completely golden yet.
Pieter's open hand gives you a good idea about the size of yet another red Hibiscus bloom on November 7.
Love this red Hibiscus with its very special center.
A detail of its fabulous center—too bad our hummingbirds are already gone to the Caribbean.
Not the best photo taken on November 13—that late into the season.
But what I wanted to show here is that these petunias, the Blanket® Double Chardonnay in our Fiberglass Window Boxes remained like miniature plants...
Very disappointing!
Blanket® Double Chardonnay Petunia Plant ←click link
GrowJoy claims that one plant grows to mature size of 10–inches tall x 24–inches wide or
25 cm x 60 cm.
Our plants sure did NOT do that, they remained very miniature as you can see by my hand as comparison.
In post below you can see them also
On November 19, our Hydrangea paniculata Limelight had turned pinkish from some near frost nights...
There were more buds but they did not turn out the way the first two did!
On our patio the summer blooming azalea still performs well as a pot plant!
Another great performer on the patio as a pot plant is the Rosemary—they bloom year round!
On Sunday, November 20 I captured our regal Camellia Japonica Debutante.
You can clearly see the now raised wooden walkway that Pieter finished in June while I was in Europe solo...
Holding one regal Camellia Japonica Debutante in my hand...
Mariette's Back to Basics wishes you and your loved ones a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING
And all those that reside outside of the USA, THANKS for your VISITS over the years!

What lovely flowers you have in your garden! And that they are still blooming in November!
ReplyDeleteDearest Ada,
DeleteThank you and I'm sure glad for having captured them as they are not getting better after some cold nights.
Hugs,
Mariette
What a wonderful selection of beautiful flowers. Thank you Mariette.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and Pieter a very Happy Thanksgiving full of blessings.
God bless always.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteThank you and it certainly makes for being Thankful for a lot!
Hugs,
Mariette
Mariette, the blooms are stunning, especially that hibiscus! Wow!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and Pieter. Of course we celebrated ours last month, but I do look forward to the Black Friday sales, especially on needed items like cat food! :-D
Dearest Kim,
DeleteThank you and Pieter is absolutely in love with that huge hibiscus.
Thank you and yes, you got yours already behind you but to those that need any sales, tomorrow is their day.
Hugs,
Mariette
Mooi hoor!….fijn weekend groetjes 🍀🐾💗🍀
ReplyDeleteBeste Ria,
DeleteJa, een pracht verzameling van herfst bloesems.
Een bijzondere dag hier in de USA.
Liefs,
Mariette
How beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteThank you and they sure are a joy in November!
Hugs,
Mariette
Such pretty flowers
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteThank you and such a joy for this time of the year.
Hugs,
Mariette
That camellia flower is beautiful. Years ago at another house, I had many camellias. Happy Thanksgiving to you and to Pieter.
ReplyDeleteDearest Debby,
DeleteIt is the prettiest of all we have. The white ones so easily get bruised from rain, wind or cold and then turn brownish on the edges.
Happy Thanksgiving to the both of you!
Hugs,
Mariette
Even the tiniest bloom is a miracle. Your flowers are lovely. Blessings always.
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy,
DeleteThank you and yes, they truly are and they lift us up more than anything else.
We felt rich for having those in November!
Hugs,
Mariette
Hi, Mariette and Pieter!
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are all GORGEOUS! *.* And the Hibiscus and the Camelia Japonica Debutante are enormous and beautiful. One thing I noticed is that the Rosemary flowers, remind me of little purple orchids! :P
That little vase, is the top of an old cane, isn't it? I remember it from your first posts!
Have a blessed weekend!
:)
Dearest Paula,
DeleteOh they sure are gorgeous.
Rosemary flowers are one of the most loyal year–round blooms!
Yes, that rose repoussé silver is the top of an antique cane. I immediately saw its use as a tiny vase and snatched it up for a bargain.
Such little things make us happy!
Hugs,
Pieter and Mariette
Ha! I knew I have seen it before! ;)
DeleteThose little things that make a house a home, are the best in life.
Lots of hugs!
:)
💞
DeleteSuch gorgeous flowers, Mariette!
ReplyDeleteAnd you've captured them beautifully!
Hugs and blessings, dearest friend.
Dearest Veronica,
DeleteBoth of us are happy with our autumn garden—no comparison to the tropical paradise we enjoyed during our three winters of living in Indonesia but we enjoy what we have.
Hugs,
Mariette
We don't celebrate this date here. I hope you both had a happy day.

Dearest Christina,
DeleteNo, it is purely for the United States and we started off with having Mass to thank God.
We're just the two of us—no big family gathering for us.
Hugs,
Mariette
