Taking Care of My Plants

I have just a relaxing day today as there was no Zumba with my friends. I took the time of taking care of my plants. I have showered my orchids on the bathtub and let them drain the water before I returned them to their places in the living room. My orchids have no more flowers but I know they will have flowers again by next year. My rose inside the house is also growing well though no more blooms. The other plants inside the house like aloe vera are growing big and I am happy seeing them. After taking care of my plants inside the house, I went to the balcony and checked my plants. I was surprised that some plants which I thought have died are blooming again. One of them is the photo I took this afternoon. I even forgot the name of this flower. I think the weather is not yet so cold for November that some of my summer plants are still alive. Anyway, I am glad that it is not yet so cold as zero degrees celcius. It feels like Spring time. Thank you for reading. I hope you have or had a wonderful weekend in your side of the world.

No, it is not zinnia @kareng. This flower is bigger than the zinnia. My zinnia on my balcony is no longer having flowers. Thank you.

Are those asters or dahlias? Beautiful color, surely a perennial.

@thelme55 It's a good hobby you have, very earth friendly too. I have a toddler and a WFH job so the lifestyle has been totally changed. I can actually leave her to my mom and elder sister but it breaks my heart when she cries even if Id just be out for errands. I also miss her everytime.

I just heard from my friend that it is winter Chrysanthemum so it likes cold weather. At the moment, we have 11°C cold and it is still autumn. In winter, it will be cold until -10 or 15°C. Freezing cold. Thank you @prinzcy
