Hi guys. I hope you're all doing well.
You know those times when you need to fix something but you're not sure how? Especially when it's a garden project, you don't want strictly utilitarian. You want it to serve its purpose, yes, but also be aestetic, eye candy. Well, after letting a garden-related dilemma percolate in my head all summer, not to mention for the past several years, I finally figured it out. Thanks to my gifted and talented son, the project is well underway and I'll be showing you all photos when it's all done. Teaser: It's rusty!
But for now, the bloomers:
 |
I thought it was kind of sweet how this Actaea ramosa 'Atropurpurea' blossom
decided to cozy up to a stem of Leycesteria formosa 'Golden Lantern' |
 |
New to me this year is Tricyrtis ohsumiensis 'Lemon Twist'. Typically, I'm not a yellow flower
gardener and I bought it because of the spotted foliage but the flowers are sweet too. |
 |
I know I go on ad nauseum about the hardy Fuchsias but come on!
Tell me these aren't gorgeous.
Fuchsia 'Baby Ann' |
 |
Little 'Delta's Angelique' Fuchsia is blooming its head off.
The flowers are about two inches long. So cute. |
 |
| Diascia integerrimus and 'Jolly Bee' Geranium look cute together. |
 |
This is the gorgeous Begonia fuschianoides that my gal pal
Mindy Northrop gave me. Another prolific bloomer! |
 |
| Thank you, Mindy! |
 |
The fall-blooming Japanese Anemones have just started.
This one is Anemone japonica 'Prinz Heinrich' |
 |
I was pleased to see the Wine Cups make an encore presentation.
Callirhoe involucrata |
 |
| Dahlia 'Fatima' one of my new favorites! |
 |
Allium spirale or Allium senescens var. 'Glaucum' ... I'm not sure which
but it hardly matters. The bees are happy and that's what matters. |
 |
| Cyclamen hederafolium are blooming all over the place. |
 |
| Shhh... someone is sleeping. |
 |
| The only way I can catch a hummingbird photo. |
I hope your waning gardening days are happy and fulfilling.
