This didn't do much all summer, but here it is, with 2 scapes. Or maybe it is happy it isn't spending the winter in what must be a chilly garden at Simbad's place.

I wonder if there is any other people in the world that can enjoy daylily blooms in the winter? Nice one!

I would think that people in the south of the US would also have flowers going. 'Life is a Highway' is from Florida, and it is blooming.
I have plants that I traded with Simbad in flower (UFO and Yabba Dabba Doo, with scapes on Lady Neva) and there are a couple I got from Belgium this fall that have put up scapes. My BSA#7 has 6 scapes! And for the first time, some of my first year seedlings are reblooming.
Then it is only 1 week until I start soaking seeds for staring in January.

You are a very busy man! Peak season is over for me, but I do have some late bloomers. I am getting ready to harvest seeds now. We had more than one hailstorm and many seedpods are badly damaged, but I will not complain too much....

I am getting real busy - I started soaking the first 20 bags of seeds on Dec 23, and on the 25th one seed started germinating in the refrigerator (Blue Eyed Bandit x Whale Tails). Now I have 9 from that group and seeds from 5 other bags have been moved to warmth to continue germination.

Way ahead of me Wylie :-), I haven't ventured into the garden all over Christmas except to feed the birds!!
I did have a good look round this morning though, snowdrops poking through, 4 or 5 hellebores(including my favourite double)flowering in the wood and a couple of clumps of primroses in flower too!!, even a few daffodils in bud, the seasons have gone mad.To wet and muddy to do much but I must go and cut the old leaves of the hellebores tomorrow.
