What's In Bloom?

AUTUMN

October - November

 

Trees that are flowering now are responding to shortened days in combination with warm soil temperatures and adequate moisture. If the air temperatures remain warm, many monsoon-flowering species will continue as well. Most of the ones listed here are native to the southern hemisphere. Pollinators that are active during our fall include butterflies, hummingbirds, and some bees.
