Please show what is blooming this time of year.
This is a little volunteer that popped up in my flower box.
Fall...so what's blooming in your garden?
very nice Angie!! I wish i had a lot of stuff blooming. Much of mine is waning down. Though the NE Asters are in bloom. I pretty much just have a smattering of plants blooming... my garden is certainly NOT as pretty as it was last year this time.
I'm actually just going out to start clipping back the "dead" stuff.... I have plenty of that.
Lovely, garden6. I particularly like the melampodiums.
Karen, it comes and goes around here. I have some daylilies blooming again and the roses are starting to revive with the cooler weather. My Salvia Black and Blue is still blooming nicely and the bumblebees and hummers love it. Overall, the show is done here and I now have the daunting task of planting more bulbs and redoing the area around our mailbox. As Rosanne Roannadanna said, "It's always something."

Buxton's Blue?
I am not sure , I dug it from a garden I work , the lady did not like it.
I find it a very nice plant , of course I have a special attraction to hardy geraniums.
They are beautiful, that is one flower my garden is missing, and I wish I had.
Soils: I planted some Anemone Honorine Jobert last spring and it's barely making it for me. Not showing much growth at all. I was hoping for some blossoms this fall. I have it planted in a shady part of the garden, but it gets some morning sun. I'm hoping it'll live over and put on a display for me next year. I also have acanthus mollis in the same area and it's not doing much either, just hanging on.
Yours are lovely.
Angie
Thanks, gardengus.
Angie - I have noticed that J. anenomes do grow very slowy in the beginning, but once they take hold, they will take off. I have to constantly pull them out several times a year to keep them in check now. Hopefully yours will thrive next year.

Wow, Soils, just the encouragement I needed! I'll keep my eyes open for spectacular blossoms next fall!

Pretty grouping of plants there, MissMary. Which Platycodon is that?
Thank you, it's Sentimental Blue. It's been a really good bloomer all summer.
My big old lilac began to display brown spots on its leaves in June. Eventually, they withered, dried and fell off last month. I gave it up for dead after all these years.
So what's blooming in my garden? Here's a picture of the lilac I took just today.
I believe it's confused, but I plan to enjoy every minute of it!
I'll bet that's spectacular!
