October Garden十月花園
Luckily I still have a lot of flowers in my garden, considering some trees have already changed colour.
I am no longer seeing humming birds around. My yellow zucchini is growing slowly and small tomatoes are slow to ripe as well.
十月了,還好花園還有許多花在開,有許多樹已經有秋色了. 蜂鳥已不見芳蹤. 我的黃色夏南瓜和小蕃茄因為溫度降低而熟成大大減慢了速度.
Garden flowers in end of Septemter九月底的花
It is fall, there are less and less flowers still blooming…
OMG, this is big!天啊,真大!
It turns out this Hibiscus moscheutos is the biggest flower in my garden ever (so far), 14 inches (35 cm) across!
現在這朵破了13吋花徑的記錄,榮登我花園目前有始以來最大朵的花,花徑有14吋(35公分)!
大花扶桑Dwarf hardy Hibiscus(Hibiscus moscheutos)
Love the big blooms! This one is big, it measures over 12 inches across–although it is not the biggest one in my garden. The biggest one is 13 inches across! It is troublesome to take a picture with tape measure even with camera on timer…
我愛這種大花扶桑! 這朵雖大,經量尺丈量略超過直徑12吋–雖然不是我花園最大的一朵花. 我的最大花記錄有直徑13吋喔! 蠻難邊拿量尺邊拍它的即使相機有定時自拍的設定…

隔一陣子還想孵一些別的鐵線蓮呢! Next I want to grow some other kind of clematis from seeds.
可是時間要算好,要春天到時有得種小實生苗. But I have to time it right for the seedlings to grow outdoors in spring.
