Flowers in October

October is a transitional time in the garden. It’s prime time to plant spring bulbs and seeds, which means it’s time to say goodbye to another season of warm weather flowers. I had a late start, but they came stole my heart like they do every year. There are a surprising amount of flowers that love the Texas heat, although I feel this year was not too bad. We got decent rain and there were only a few torturous weeks. My favorite flower I grew are these tiny pink zinnias. They were labeled ‘zinderella, but they look more ‘little flower girl’ from Floret. They complemented every arrangement I made and were SO cute, like tiny pieces of art. So now begins the bed clean out and restarting fresh again. There is lots of work to be done, and I’m excited for cooler weather and all the upcoming holidays.
