After the freeze we had earlier this week, I'm a bit surprised that some of the plants are still blooming. The eggplant, tomatoes and most of the cosmos are toast, but everything else seems unfazed (the peppers were covered). The following are still blooming:
Gomphrena
Prairie Fleabane
Zexmenia
Blackfoot Daisy
Lantana
Butterfly Bush
Mexican Mint Marigold
Coneflower
Gregg's Mistflower
Culinary Ginger (was brought in during the freeze)
Mexican Petunia
Shrimp Plant
Jalapeno
Milkweed
Unscented Plumeria (was brought in during the freeze)
Henry Duelberg Sage
Autumn Sage
Caldwell Pink Rose

It's amazing how tough some garden plants are, isn't it? We've had roses bloom at Christmas here... it all depends on just how serious a freeze mother nature decides to throw at us.
Natives have so much more resilience. Nice capture of the bee. He's happy there are still flowers left.
What's the flower in the bee picture?
@dani - that's tropical milkweed - it's the plant that is the larval host for monarch butterflies.
