Verbena for Hallowe'en by sunnygreenwood

Verbena for Hallowe'en

We went to a retreat/conference centre for a grand fall lunch yesterday with Barry's hockey buddies and their spouses. [The cabbage rolls were awesome - I should have tried taking a pic of them.] The gardens near the front door are quite protected and some of the plants were still blooming. This Verbena was one of them. Pretty amazing for the end of October!!!

I took some great pics of Verbena in another garden in August and forgot about them, so it was nice to see this one and have a second chance to share them with 365.

Many thanks for dropping by.
Wow, awesome, vibrant, colour Anne. Sounds like you guys had a nice day! : )

The colors are so pretty. I hope they smelled nice too. Funny, as soon as I saw your caption Little House on the Prairie popped into my head. I always remember Laura smiling at her teacher's perfume and saying in a dreamy voice "lemon verbena."

Beautiful. I'm surprised it is still blooming. I think we appreciate it more when we see it up close like this.
