It's blooming again

You never know what you'll see in the fall, when one day it's hot and the next it's cold.

[Susan Wakely]

Such lovely colours coming into bloom.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Very pretty- it's always surprising when the bloom twice.

Oh my word! So hard to believe. Our pear tree is blooming and the apple tree at Mary’s Haven is blooming. What is happening?

[Kathy]

@wakelys Thank you Sue. The color is lovely.
@olivetreeann Thanks Ann. I've noticed it happening for several years.
@grammyn Two houses down from me there's a cherry tree blooming too. I've known it to bloom before in the fall too. Must have been the shock of the change in temperatures and all that rain.

[Corinne C]

I hope they'll have time to bloom completely. Here nights are getting cold and everything is getting brown

[Rick Schies]

Lucky you, enjoy them while you can

[Shutterbug]

@grammyn We’ve got the same wierdness here. Daffodils and freesia (spring flowers) are getting ready to bloom, so are the cyclamen (winter flowers), and Dahlia, azaleas, and celosia (summer flowers) are still blooming. And there are no red leaves anywhere around.

[Shutterbug]

Beautiful capture of the plant. Is it a rhododendron?

[Kathy A]

Always lovely to see new growth

[Issi Bannerman]

The rhoddies are always tenacious!

[katy]

@shutterbug49 I wonder if the Earth is getting ready to shift on its axis?!

[Margaret Brown]

A very confused rhododendron!

[Casablanca]

Yup, same here!

[Beverley]

I agree… this is a lovely photo lovely pretty colours. I just go with the flow…

[haskar]

Many plants are blooming again here too. More and more anomalies.

[Renee Salamon]

Plants are as confused as we are! Lovely new buds though

[bkb in the city]

Very nice

[Kathy]

@corinnec We have a freeze warning tonight. I wonder if they'll make it through. They are up against the house, so perhaps.
@digitalrn Yes indeed.
@shutterbug49 Thanks Debbie. It is a rhododendron.
@kjarn Yes especially as autumn is here.
@jamibann You're right. They are. True mountain shrubs in this neck of the woods.
@grammyn If so, I need to get a seat belt ready so I stay on when it does.
@craftymeg It is. It's the hot and cool weather we've been having I guess.
@casablanca It is nice to see them bloom.
@beverley365 Thank you. Going with the flow - might as well. I have no control.
@haskar Maybe I just never noticed this behavior before.
@rensala Thanks Renee.
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian.

Telling me! The climate is nuts here in Italy too. Sultry one moment, chilly the next, and the garden doesn't know what to do.

@will_wooderson turned my heat on yesterday' frost this morning and it’s supposed to be in the upper 70’s next week.
