October in my Neighborhood

October is more like summer than fall where I live, usually bright and sunny, with summer flowers still blooming. This is Arabian Lilac (Vitex trifolia purpurea),

Crape Myrtle or Lagerstroemia with red blossoms

or white,

Red Gum Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis).

Melaleuca quinquenervia,

and Lantana camara.
