Here's what's blooming in my garden today. Tonight it is forecast to be our first freeze of the season. It's chilly outside now but I'll believe the freeze when I see it.I was really surprised to see this flower from my Mexican Flame Vine or senicio confusus. I transplanted it this past spring and it has languished all summer. This is it's first and probably last bloom on the season.
This is a bloom from the Cat Whiskers or Orthonsiphon aristatus. I planted it last spring and it survived the winter and bloomed again this year. You can easily see how it gets it's name
The Indigo Spires Salvia is covered in blooms, bees and butterflies as is the mealy blue sage.
This is a potted euphorbia plant. It's been blooming for about a month.
Some of the snapdragons that came up on their own this past spring. 
This is my Texas Wild Olive Tree or Cordia boisseiri. It blooms like this all summer and fall. One of my favorites
A nice yellow hibiscus
This is one of my succulents in a container. It's been blooming for about 2 weeks. The blooms close up at night and re-open in the morning.
This is Texas Swampmallow or Pavonia lasiopetala. These are all covered in blooms. These come up all over the yard too.
Here is a coral hibiscus that I've had in a pot for about 7 years. I keep it in a protected place every winter and then bring it out in the spring and cut the branches back to the trunk.
Gotta have some chrysanthemums.
This double purple datura has been blooming all spring, summer and fall. I planted one last year in the front yard and now I have about 50 of em scattered all over the yard. Next year there's no telling how many of them will be coming up in the yard.

This is a Confederate Rose or Hibiscus mutabilis. It's been blooming for about a month now. The flowers average about 3 to 4 inches across.
