I was given an African violet for my birthday last March and it has not stopped blooming since. I’m not sure what I am doing right, since I haven’t had one before. Anyhow, it’s gloriously happy.

Flowers or not?
More blooms
So do some things bloom year round here, besides dandelions? I found quite a few things still blooming uptown near the Farmer’s Market.

Local blooms
The Northwest weather certainly confuses me. Sometimes I think it confuses the plants too. Blooming on Saturday, uptown Port Townsend.

Stubborn red
Another flower still blooming in October and bright red!

Bicolor
At least two colors. Or more.

Our turn
“Our turn,” say the maple leaves, “Our turn to flower in color and glory!”
Our natives are vine maples and big leaf maples. Glorious against the evergreens.

Dark flowers
It is getting darker and the sun is rising later. Halloween is on a Tuesday, three weeks from now. I am walking the cats in the predawn time and sometimes in the dark. Sol Duc is black and her harness is dark red and I can’t see her at all if it’s good dark night. Our rules are that I let the leash go if they stay in my yard or the neighbor’s yard. We have a fast road for our town and I have had a cat get killed.
When it’s really dark, I either need to keep the leash or put a light on Sol Duc.
Meanwhile I am taking spooky photographs of flowers in the near dark.
