This Gulf Fritillary must have been attracted to my yellow shirt since it hung around long enough to get a photo. #butterfly #photography #Georgia

Not much fall color at our Georgia property. Still, the sweet gum and persimmon leaves provide brief flashes of blazing red.🌱

Here in Zone 9 Florida, "Louis Phillippe" is a rose variety that thrives with little attention. Halfway into November and it's still full of blooms. I've read that it's hardy north to Zone 7, though I can't confirm that. But if you just want a trouble-free rose, this is one to try. 🌱
