Welcome to Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day for November 2025.
If I didn’t have the Christmas roses, Helleborus niger, blooming now, this would be a pretty short post.
But who am I kidding? It’s still going to be a pretty short post because here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden in central Indiana, we’ve already had snow. (Just for a day or so, it is all gone now!)
So from here on out—until crocuses show up in February—it’s going to be Christmas roses for the bloom, plus a few indoor flowers.
But while out mowing up leaves and taking them back to the Vegetable Garden Cathedral to cover those beds on Friday, Nov. 14, which was a beautiful day, I spotted a few plants still in denial, of sorts.
These snapdragons seeded themselves in the patio and have been blooming for a while.
They got snowed on but seemed not to be bothered by it.
Nearby, the very last of the autumn crocuses, Crocus speciosus, are still blooming.
Of course, many of them are done and are not blooming. We take what we can get this time of year.
This silly geranium decided to bloom one more time.
I noticed it while mowing. I liked seeing it. But I don’t expect it to bloom in November every year. It’s joined by a few blooms on the honeyberries in the back garden, which also shouldn’t be blooming now
I also caught a violet with one last bloom.
Of course I did. And yes, it’s in the lawn, and that’s just fine with me.
Elsewhere in the garden, the mums are just about done, but the pansies and violas are still doing well.
I will leave them be until they decide on their own to quit for the season.
And that’s it for this very short Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day post for November.
What’s blooming in your garden as we approach the end of the year? I’d love for you to join in for Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day and show us. To participate, just post on your blog, Substack, Instagram or wherever you share about your garden on the Internet, about what’s blooming in your garden on or around the 15th of the month.
Then come back here and leave a link in the Mr. Linky widget and a comment to let us know what you have to show us.
As Elizabeth Lawrence wrote, “We can have flowers nearly every month of the year.”
