Text of the page (random words):
ar before they left my dad had some health problems and was hospitalized for almost a week and needed extra help when he returned home then the local grandkids started their fall sports season and we have been busy attending volleyball baseball and soccer games and cross country meets my calendar is full i m not complaining however with over a month s hiatus i m ready to get back into the garden for fall chores if it ever cools down and stops raining that is though the bright blooms of mid summer have long since faded there have been some new blooms to replace them heavenly blue and flying saucers morning glory seeds were planted in a pot in early summer but i thought they would never bloom the vines grew taller and taller and meandered through the dried coneflowers but finally some blooms appeared i usually plant a variety of leftover seeds in an old whiskey barrel planter at the back of the garden and then forget to water it a few hardy seeds survived the neglect like this tall celosia name forgotten a favorite rudbeckia prairie sun also survived late august brought the zinnias including my favorite zowie yellow flame they are looking a bit more tattered now in october but from a distance they still look good and add some bright fall color especially in the roadside garden above other zinnias in shades of pink orange red and purple are still going strong and providing nectar for the late butterflies speaking of butterflies i thought the monarchs might have all migrated but this afternoon i saw several floating through the garden they were enjoying some late blooms but their favorite was the tithonia the tithonia planting was an accident i think i dropped some seeds here but i definitely need to plant more of this on purpose next year because it really is a butterfly magnet better late than never i have no idea what took the cosmos so long to bloom but i m happy to see them especially since most of the flowers around them have finished there are some new perennial blooms as well this is the first time i ve ever seen blooms on my hardy begonia i bought this plant because i love the foliage and have been surprised it has survived in my zone 5b garden these sweet little blooms are an added bonus turtleheads chelone are a welcome sight in the shade garden as the hostas begin to die back many of the annuals are starting to fizzle out this time of year but the lantana is going strong in the lily bed i think it has doubled in size in the last month coleus are also going strong and have taken over a couple of pots which is fine with me many of my containers are looking pretty sad right now so it s a good time to evaluate what plants do best in our long summers all the begonias are looking great but especially this dragon wing begonia this is one plant i definitely want to try to over winter indoors supertunia vista silverberry is one of the few petunias still looking good i ve replaced a few plants elsewhere with fall annuals like mums kale and pansies but i don t get too carried away with fall plantings autumn is just too short a season here to make it worth my time or money we re still in the 80 s yet a frost could happen any day though the summer like temperatures are still hanging around it definitely feels like fall days are getting shorter and there are subtle changes all around i took this photo of our lane a month ago more for my benefit than to post it the trees lining the lane are all flowering crabapples and they have never looked as good as this year the leaves are beginning to turn and drop now but usually they look that way in august i think consistent rain throughout the summer really made a difference this year and every tree is full of fruit no wonder my yard is filled with birds other changes can be seen in the garden blackberry lilies showing their beautiful seedheads fall perennials are blooming like the new england asters the shorter october skies asters line one edge of the arbor bed a tatarian aster at the back of the butterfly garden i wish i could get more of these to grow i have no trouble growing these however frost or hairy aster symphyotrichum pilosum is a native plant that many would consider a weed but i happen to like these little white blooms not to mention they are a valuable source of nectar for bees and other insects in the fall in the arbor bed japanese anemones are making an appearance another japanese anemone i vowed i would remember what variety both of these are but naturally i ve forgotten i m also happy to see the pineapple sage in bloom so often it blooms so late that it is hit by frost before it can even bloom but this year it looks like i will have more time to enjoy it and finally one of my favorite shrubs this time of year the beautyberry i love these purple berries although i haven t been very industrious in the garden the past month and a half i have enjoyed spending time just sitting and observing nature the hummingbirds have been a constant source of joy as i watch them dancing in the air and flying from flower to flower yesterday i saw two in my garden the latest i remember ever seeing them here but i know that very soon they will all be on their way to warmer climes it s a good time to enjoy the many beauties of nature before the snow flies posted by rose at 4 03 pm 23 comments labels annuals asters beautyberry butterflies fall blooms hummingbirds japanese anemones pineapple sage sunday july 15 2018 an explosion of color july gbbd i don t get to travel as much as i would like between family obligations including who s going to take care of four dogs and this and that it is hard to get away so when my daughter offered to let me tag along with her to washington d c a few weeks ago i jumped at the chance my husband stayed home so i didn t have to worry about the dogs and not much was going on in the garden that needed my immediate attention so it was perfect timing while the garden was kind of at a lull when i left all that changed in the few short days that i was gone in six days time the purple coneflowers had gone from a few opening blooms to a sea of pink and when i say sea i m not exaggerating it s hard for me to get a good photo of the sidewalk garden that shows all the flowers but maybe this one section will give you an idea even though i dug up many seedlings in the spring there are so many that there isn t much room for anything else good thing i love coneflowers almost all the coneflowers that grow here are the native species but cheyenne spirit is one hybrid that has done well here and hasn t been overtaken by the natives yet cheyenne spirit is one that will have different colored blooms on the same plant i bought this one before it bloomed hoping for yellow blooms but as you can see i didn t quite get what i had wished for still i like the varied shades of coral and orange on this plant which sets it apart from all the common coneflowers here the other coneflowers have spread everywhere including to the lily bed which has been a riot of color for the past two weeks even though i initially named this the lily bed not all my lilies are growing here i ran out of room here long ago since the daylilies are the other star of the garden right now let s take a little closer look at some of them one of the first to bloom little hug is still putting out a plethora of blooms susan webber a registered cultivar named after a local gardener moonlight madness a noid lily given to me by a friend andrea s dragonfly a division shared with me by my friend beckie who named it in memory of her daughter not a registered daylily another noid lily that i call nettie s coral after my aunt who gave me several of these years ago it s probably apparent from the previous photos that i am partial to pastel lilies take me to a daylily farm and no matter what my buying intentions are i always gravitate to the pastels but i do have a few darker ones including this lovely whose name has long been forgotten and which was also given to me by my friend beckie another non pastel is this noid that apparently got mixed up with some stellas i bought years ago i keep meaning to divide it because i really do like it much better than the stellas anyway some of my literary lilies are also a little darker like divine comedy and canterbury tales romeo is bleeding is a bright red edged with yellow of course romeo had to have a companion so i named this no name hybrid juliet more of my literary lilies and pastels again tennyson is a prolific beauty i can t quite decide if this is my favorite daylily or if mistress prynne is my favorite i have many more daylilies than this but i think you get that idea that i have become addicted to them the last few years though i ve also branched out a little to other types such as the orientals including what i call everyone s favorite stargazer i ve yet to see any blooms on the casablancas however one of my favorite orientals there are a few orienpets as well including this one whose name i ve already forgotten with their downward facing blooms they are interesting but hard to photograph although the coneflowers and lilies are the stars of the garden right now there are other blooms as well grey headed coneflowers have been blooming for several weeks in the butterfly garden hostas are just beginning to bloom in the oak tree garden all the rain we have had recently has turned my shade gardens into jungles once again in the arbor bed the phlox are just starting to bloom this is david with a fuschia no name peeking behind it to the left i noticed this combo one day of whites with the pinks of the coneflowers and stargazers another one of my happy accidents in planting i love love the garden this time of year but it s not just the blooms that i enjoy it s all the creatures that come to visit it that bring me joy as well well not that darned japanese beetle on the left coneflower of course but i have been thrilled that finally the butterflies have appeared i was beginning to worry that their numbers were down this year but in the last two weeks i have had so many come to visit that my camera memory card is filled with nothing but butterfly photos black swallowtails red admirals and many smaller butterflies that i haven t identified are enjoying the coneflowers the tiger swallowtail is one of my favorites and i m pretty sure on friday a giant swallowtail made a short visit as well but what makes me happiest of all is to see the monarchs i ve had at least two my husband says he saw four at once hanging about the garden for the past two weeks my milkweed plants are pretty puny but at least i can provide some nectar for the adults with all these coneflowers it s been a hot hot summer so far but i am enjoying the garden right now and i hope you are enjoying your summer garden too garden bloggers bloom day is brought to you once again by carol of may dreams gardens posted by rose at
