What is still blooming for you?

Every year I am surprised by what is still blooming in October.

In pots, petunias have put out a big burst of flowers, as if they know the end is near. One zinnia plant ("Zowie" - definitely a repeater) has been bearing 8 -10 blooms since early summer, and still continues. My canna (well, ok, that's not an annual) surprised me by blooming again, when I thought it was finished.

In the ground - the vinca (not the ground cover, the other vinca) looks beautiful. This is the 1st year I've discovered this vinca, and it is my new best friend. No bugs bother it, needs little care, and keeps blooming. And I like the foliage. I have the white ones.

Impatience is still going strong.

And moon flowers were a big surprise. They didn't look good at all, until they started to bloom about mid-September and now they have loads of buds,(as well as flowers), hope a frost doesn't come.

What is blooming for you?
