(Pink & Purple Phlox, Pink Cosmos, Black Eyed Susans, White Gaura, and Red Carpet Roses).
It's really beginning to look fall-like, yet there's still enough color and variety that, if you don't look too closely, you might not notice the acorns that have dropped like mad all around the yard! Instead, your eye might be drawn to the remaining blooms that still grace the gardens:
Salvia with Carpet Rose, Agastache and Phlox)
Agastache (L) and Impatience (R)
Turtlehead
Lavender
Autumn Joy Sedum,Obedient Plant with Daisy (background), Mums, and Cardinal Flower
Here we have part of the back yard:
There are more--plants in the original pots from garden centers--that I still haven't put in the ground. We are having some nice days next week, in the 60's, so I plan to do that then. To see more Garden Blogger Bloom Day posts from around the world, visit Carol's May Dreams Gardens.
--Today I am thankful for warm temperatures and flowers, which help me feel like it's still spring in October;-)
Words and photos by Jan Huston DobleThanks For 2 Day.
Jan, your garden is full of colorful, cheerful blooms! Love your carpet rose and cardinal flower especially. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello Jan,
ReplyDeleteYour garden is so full of beautiful plants. I think the Gaura is my favorite.
Looks like summer still in Virginia. It's hard to believe it is October. One of these days I'm going to learn how to do those wonderful collages. Have a great weekend Jan.
ReplyDeleteLovely mosaic/collage images of your blooms.
ReplyDeleteYou still have a lot in bloom! I love the pink mum in the second collage.

Hi Jan~~ Lots of lovely blossoms. The hardly Lobelia, wow! The cluster of pink Cosmos and the variegated Lirope are, well actually all your flowers are nice. I can see that you're very adept as well as creative at the collage making.
ReplyDeleteYou still have so many flowers blooming! I think I remember seeing in a previous post that your son was not feeling well. I hope he is better. My hubby, son and I have had a virus here this week. We seem to be catching every thing that is going around.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Jan!
Blessed with the fruits of fall, you have captured them beautifully, Jan. Autumn hugs :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the collages! Such a lovely post! I just learned how to do collages and I'm having a blast.
ReplyDeleteHi Jan, your blooms are beautiful and the photo collage looks stunning full of such vibrant colours. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletewhen shown as single, lavender is definitely cute and pretty. ~bangchik
ReplyDeleteYour collages show the color still in your gardens quite well!
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of blooms, glad you shared with us. I imagine within the next couple days it will be a bit wilted from the cold. We are having super high tides with this nor'easter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, Jan. Lots of beautiful flowers to enjoy! It would be fun to see a rerun of some of these mid-Winter! :-)
ReplyDeleteStill plenty of interest in the garden and some sunny days by the looks of the photos and more to come by the sounds of it.
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty things still blooming there! I have some too, but it's too cold and wet to go out and enjoy them. Tonight will be our first hard freeze, and so I've gone out to bid them a fond farewell till next spring. If you enjoyed my Sedona eye candy, be sure to stop by my blog again today for more!
ReplyDeleteWhat beauties you have! Truly reasons to be thankful for each new day.

If I knew you were going to be late with your post I would of posted my blooms too Jan. I've seem to missed out the past couple of months. Something just keeps coming up. :( Beautiful display of October blooms, the collages were a perfect way to share them.
