ReplyDeleteHappy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

Thanks Lea!
DeleteThe rich diversity of your plant material never ceases to amaze and impress me.
ReplyDeleteYou are too nice! I do have a lot of blooms not showing! I am possibly saving them for another day or year to photograph and show.
DeleteHow cool that you got the second round of blooms out of your 'Boomerang Lilac'...do you recommend it?
DeleteI do not recommend it for its second blooms. I should post a distance picture of this shrub to see how insignificantly small the second bloom is. It gets lost in the fall garden. The size of it and the first bloom are its main attributes. If you have a narrow border and a small garden, and must have a lilac, then this is the one. It only gets to be 3 ft.
DeleteLovely September blooms, and your pictures are fantastic! I'm surprised that your verbena returned, especially after this last awful winter. I plant a couple every year, and though they last a long time, they've never overwintered for me. The bees do love the cosmos, don't they? They're one of my favorite annuals. Happy Bloom Day!
ReplyDeleteI adore frilly little detailed blooms like the clematis. All your colors are wonderful! I am trying to get my garden ready for planting and I hope I have just part of your colorful success :)
ReplyDeleteLucky you Betty! You are in spring season! I am sad to see my garden go to sleep. The thought of winter makes me shiver!
DeleteMy lilac and clematis's only bloom in spring, that would be nice to have fall bloom too. My Anemones and a Dahlia are still blooming, they are wonderful, aren't they. I'm still bummed out that they changed the Eupatorium name, I also grow Eupatorium (now Conoclinum) coelestinum, hardy ageratum, I thought none of the 5 plants I started last year survived the winter but one did that is by my water bib where it practically sits in water. Your photos are so pretty, I like the toad lily, I've read they are fall bloomers, so they are tempting...
