It's amazing to see wildflowers bloom all year long here in Florida!
And they can be different from week to week.
And how neat to see colorful leaves on some of the Maple trees.
Lots of pretty reds and yellows!
And for something we don't see as often....
a banana tree! I think it's the wrong time of year for bananas though! We'll keep an eye on it though!
Do you have flowers still blooming where you live?
I'm joining Angie for Mosaic Monday HERE .

Beautiful photos! My Mexican Sunflowers are blooming like crazy now :)
Such pretty sites to see on your walk.
No blossoms here. Leaves are all off the trees too but the weather temps are unseasonably warm which is very strange.
These are very beautiful photos and collages Diane.
Have a great week and stay healthy.
Such lovely uplifting photos Diane. Thank you...I needed that today.
Wildflowers are wonderful, untamed and really add something to a garden at least to me.

Lots of beauty to look at this morning. Yes, that is one thing that is truly amazing about Florida. So many different flowers/greenery grows and continues to flourish even after their seasons have ended. Love the wildflowers! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Banana tree!!! How neat! I really miss the colours of the flowers...winter is on its way here!
WoW!!! the butterfly and the light highlighting it are gorgeous, what a beautiful color. the aster is pretty, it is nice to see flowers year round. the only flower blooming in my garden are my knockout roses, my mums got sad and are gone!
your mosaics are really nice, i like all of the different shapes!!!
OMG the banana plant i have it in my backyard
Happy Monday Diane
Much💗love
Wow for finding the banana tree!
We do have flowers and butterflies still in Georgia. No freeze in sight so they will be around for a while longer. xo Laura
Wow, what a wonderful mosaic. I love this amazing flowers. Thank you for sharing.
Have a good week.
Happy MosaicMonday
We still have a few flowers blooming, for a little while anyway. I really like your new blog header. You have a super day, hugs, Edna B.
I love the palm and the red/green leaves collages and my favorite today is the bannana tree, both of those are beautiful
...wow, make that a BIG WOW!!!
That is a beautiful collage of asters. Ours are about over. If that banana 🍌 tree sprouts any, I hope that you can get one or two in a few months or so.
I am loving all our flowers. Everything is holding on for now. Sometimes I would like a wee bit cooler but then we wouldn't have so much to look at. There was a banana tree down the street that bloomed one time. Seems like he had to cover his fruit one year so they must come during colder weather, but I would have noticed if any were on it or at least I think I would have.
Never knew there were climbing asters, must be nice to have a climate that allows flowers all year.
Diane, thanks for dropping by and ljnking up at my blog
Much 💗love
It looks like some of your trees change color in the fall too? That maple tree sure is pretty! :-) I've lived in northwest Indiana my whole life... as my parents did before me. The same small town, to be exact. I've visited Florida a few times and while I think it's beautiful, I don't think I could live there. It's just not what I'm used to... but I'm glad I can visit, on a daily basis, through you! ~Andrea xoxo
It's nice to see all the green you have and yes, seeing flowers bloom this late in the year is great!...:)jp
Such a wonderful nature hike with you ~ Gorgeous photos and love them all ~ New header is fantastic ~ ^_^
Live each moment with love,

amazing that you still have flowers and butterflies. I like what you create with your mosaics now. It si beautiful and creative.
So pretty. I was just thinking today how dead everything looks around here now. Your photos are a breath of fresh air
Love it all, but especially that golden butterfly on the purple asters ...beautiful color contrast. I hope the storm Eta has skipped you. We’ve been keeping an eye on it from afar.
Beautiful photos, Diane. Love the purple asters, and I did not know there was a climbing version. There are few flowers here just now, but a few hardy roses are budding. I don't know if they will open. And the pansies are shivering, but still pretty. Your photos look so warm - it's chilly here!
Diane, oh I am so curious about that banana tree! Do you think you will see fruit one day? And could you pick it or would that get you in trouble? My roses and lavender are holding on. We have had warm weather these last few days.
I like the setting the banana tree is in, it looks so very tropical. ;-)HEE HEE!!
7 inches of snow in the forecast for us. We just enjoyed a lovely week of temps in the 70's. We got all our winter prep work done, so yep, it can snow now.
Beautiful photos (as always)! Your kaleidoscopes are gorgeous!
Such pretty pretty photos!! I walked today and noticed a little fall foliage along with tiny blue wildflowers and various flowers still blooming!
I think of you every time I head out. Whee I walk in no way as scenic as where you do - but 'I am walking here!!!' Remember that line in Miss Congeniality?
Diane - I had no idea there was such a thing as a climbing aster; I love asters and now I have one more reason why! Beautiful as your header, too, my dear! That banana tree sure is a splash of color there, isn't it?!? Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday! (and I hope your weather is OK with Eta in the "neighborhood".)
gorgeous flowers and photos. Our wildflowers bloom all year too - though different ones at different times of year. It's interesting to see the changes. Stay safe and have a good week and thank you for stopping by my blog this week.
I didn’t know there were climbing asters.. I love their aerial feel like floating. Wild asters are called “nogiku” (mums in fields) in my country. They look leaning other plants, so climbing type would be good for asters. There are still many flowers here, not only cosmoses or mums but also climbing roses, which would last till the first frost. Sasanqua Camellia started blooming, The mosaics of autumn leaves are so lovely.

Beautiful!
Have a blessed day!
Hello,
You do live in a beautiful area, lovely flowers and plants. I love the palm trees. The banana tree is cool. Great photos. Take care, enjoy your day!
Lovely photos - I hope you get a banana from that banana tree soon!

Very pretty pictures of the flowers still blooming in your area. I didn't realize there were climbing asters. Hope that banana tree produces. Our weather continues to be very mild. No killing frosts yet so there are still flowers in bloom.
Our blooms are pretty much gone so it's joyful to see yours!
Beautiful, the tourist committee of the state of Florida should have you on their payroll :)
Beautiful photos! Aster is tha latest one to bloom here - into frost.
Pretty flowers and tropical trees. No more wildflowers here--we had our third snowfall already this fall! It does not last long on the ground this time of the year in our part of Colorado as our sun is hot and temperatures go back up fast to melt it all. Since we are very dry we welcome the moisture snow gives us.
Love to have flowers blooming all year 'round and see the butterflies too. Nice shots.

hey there girlfriend, I'm back! I've not been blogging for a week....sure trying to catch up with you! YOu always have great pictures...but THESE are exceptionally great....the ones of the purple flowers, I think you called them asters? Just beautiful colors and the butterfly is gorgeous. Great clear shots there. Hope everything is going well your way....we've had alot of rain here for a few days off and on. Been wet and misty. PS--our banana tree did get bananas this year. We were very surprised, LOL.
Beautiful photos! The butterfly with the asters is gorgeous! How blessed you are to see flowers, and pretty foliage all year long. xo
I enjoyed looking at all of the pretty photos of nature Diane. Hope you are enjoying the week.
The HOA here in my community does a wonderful job of keeping the common area flower beds full and colorful. It's a delight to drive past them.
Me parece un hermoso paseo, me ha gustado mucho. Besos.
A wonderful selection of photographs :)
All the best Jan
Those orange butterflies are beautiful. You always see the prettiest butterflies on your walks. That is something different to see the banana tree. I get a bunch of them from the store every week hehehe. The Climbing Aster is lovely, and it looks very nice as your Header photo.

No pretty blooms but the leaves are still changing. It hasn't been a pretty fall. The leaves have mostly just fallen off of the trees. I don't understand that at all.

Beautiful flowers, I would like to see them all year round. My garden is ready for winter. Soon it will snow and frosts will come. Lovely photos.
A healthy, joyful weekend:)
