Perhaps flowers were not the best subjects. They are quite scarce about now.

1. What is this? It grows like ground cover. Although it has not yet bloomed profusely, it blooms with a few flowers continually. I am not keen on it, but I want to know what it is.

2. Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Prostratus’, trailing rosemary blooms a bit less during winter, but seems to never be completely without bloom. Hummingbirds are pleased with these.

3. Coleonema pulchellum ‘Sunset Gold’ breath of Heaven probably should have stopped blooming by now; but I must not complain if it insists on blooming right through winter.

4. Rosa spp., rose bloom is finally succumbing to wintry weather. I do not know if this is because of the earlier rain or more recent chill. Other roses have been pruned for winter.

5. Erica spp., heath is happy to bloom through winter and perhaps into spring. I have no idea what cultivar this is, and I do not remember when it started blooming in November.

6. Rhody has been absent from Six on Saturday for quite a while. He is not easy to take a good picture of. This week though, it might have been easier than finding a sixth flower.

    1. Flowers that I did not already feature in previous weeks are getting scarce. I almost got pictures of violas or pansies, but I featured them already. I do not worry about Rhody being redundant.

  1. The rosemary flowers are so pretty. My rosemary shrubs hardely ever produce many flowers, but maybe it is because they are supposedly hardier sorts cultivated for our harsh winters. Good to see Rhody – he is looking very sweet in that photo!
