It is an interesting time of year out in the garden ... of course that could be said just about every day ... but work with me.
All of the trees, shrubs and perennials are at different points in their life cycle and it is fascinating to watch them all mingle as the cold weather begins to appear in the rear view mirror.
Yeah, I'm that deep.
But enough of me waxing poetic, I'll let the photos further my point:
Some plants are putting on their best show right now:
 |
| Boltonia 'Pink Beauty' |
 |
| Helenium autumnale (Sneezeweed) |
Others continue to put on a show but are showing signs of wearing down:
 |
| Echinacea 'Fragrant Angel' (White Coneflower) |
 |
| Echinacea 'Fragrant Angel' (White coneflower) |
 |
| Blooms on Astilbe 'Deutschland' |
Some have put on a second show, albeit, not as dramatic as the first:
 |
| Nepeta 'Walker's Low' (Catmint) |
 |
| Phlox paniculata 'David' |
Many are just now showing signs of bloom for the first time:
 |
| Chelone glabra |
 |
| Caryopteris 'Sunshine Blue' (Bluebeard) |
 |
| Caryopteris 'Sunshine Blue' (Bluebeard) |
 |
| Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Lime' |
Add to the mix the foliage changes starting to appear (as seen in my last post) and you have a cornucopia of garden loveliness.
Don't you agree? Of course you do.

September has and always be my favorite month in the garden. Why I persist in letting hubby talk me into travel this month is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteYour blooms are lovely! Enjoy the show
John,
ReplyDeleteI can tell fall is coming because the hostas are all ratty from snails and deer. But I am noticing holly berries redding up and some dogwood berries that haven't yet been eaten by the fauna. And the blight has stopped me from gathering more tomatoes. Seriously though, I love this time of year when stuff blooms without control and colors begin to change and grasses are in bloom. Enjoy where you are...
