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.

My melampodiums are blooming nicely.....

Surprisingly, the zinnias were not as affected by mildew despite the cool, rainy summer.....

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."

Thanks Hemo!

Buxton's Blue?

Flora, IN(Zone 5a)

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.

Nice flowers, everyone.

Japanese anenomes always heralds the arrival of autumn in my garden. Purple ones

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.

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!

Lots and lots of rain here the last 2 weeks, combined with a more pleasant than usual Memphis summer ... apparently a good mix. Not seen in this picture is a huge old lilac which sprouted all new leaves this last week and is now blossoming out like it's spring. Oh, well -- no complaints here!

Pretty grouping of plants there, MissMary. Which Platycodon is that?

Memphis, TN

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!

This is an a pic from last year just showing the bloom...but Dendranthema "Bolero" is in full bloom and stunning this year! it at least 5 ft. in circumference!

I'll bet that's spectacular!

Thsi really doesnt show how pretty it really is but you get an idea how huge it is!! My Rhumba is just starting to bloom and it is not near as big as Bolero!
