Candyce, your clematis really impresses me. I tried growing it once and it winterkilled. But you must be in a similar zone. Do you protect it for the winter?
Also, yours is the second primrose I've seen posted lately. Mine only bloom in the spring. Very pretty.
Show us your bloomers!!
At this time of year every bloom and pic is so much more appreciated. Thank you all for such wonderful pics. A few last bits of color here.
A new mum this year. 'Will's Wonderful'.
Knocked down by the wind and rain but still pretty, 'Fall Charm'.
and the bright baby blue hydrangea 'Endless Summer' has gone dark pinky red for fall.
in spite of what i said about liking simple dahlias, i reserve the right to be inconsistent.
this was a rescue plant - annual dwarf dahlia "starsister." Had a couple of sad blooms on it when i got it, then a couple of buds with no flowers inside. Then it just sat - until last week, when it actually bloomed! This week i got 2 blooms!
(they are kinda cool...☺)
and my margarite (?) daisies (argyranthemums) have been happier than they've been all summer lately!
(these are all from Sunday, not so quick with the upload is amy...)
other argyranthemums - madiera deep rose.
osteopermum: soprano light purple (very light in this picture!)
Ngam and amethystsm, lovely flowers.
some of my assorted "daisies," being happy on the 21st of october.
so why can't i grow shasta daisies?
and some more of the wacky non-sonata, non-blooming till after violent weather cosmos...
Amy, the dahlia is gorgeous!
aw... thanks!
☺
That is a nice pic of the dahlia Amy. It's only an annual if you don't save the tubers - that's a collarette.
Do any of your tubers not make it through the Winter Al?
Tubers - yes, about 10-15% don't make it. I have many of each variety so I rarely lose a cultivar.
Wasn't Alice asking about this one?
Cool - is that your light?
Not sure if it lights up - maybe. Not mine, more pics while on the job.
I'm compiling a folder of these on-the-job photos for your boss. Not your wife - the other one.
I'll have to get one of my bosses mistress then?
Can I see it first?
Re-blooming Iris from today.
This is getting slow - even for me. Celeste!!! We need a new set of bloomers.
Victor, great color on that iris! I've never bought any of the rebloomers. I'm always afraid they won't bloom well in the spring.
amy, so many great daisies...especially like the deep rose
ngam, pretty, pretty purples.
candy, I'm 'interested' in your kale. LOL love your snaps. I wintersowed some this year and none of them germinated and I missed them. if I don't get any next year I'm going straight to the garden center!
Patti, great collage...my fave is the dahlia in the top row, third from the left. thanks for posting your 'river' pics. I can't believe you're doing that work yourself. YOU ARE AMAZING!!! I'd be standing there pointing...'No, I want it to go that way!' that will be one gorgeous setting when you're done. it will look so natural there. glad your DS's injury wasn't any worse. Please keep us posted on your progress :0) I can live vicariously. I want a pond AND a stream.
jan
Wish I had the room for a stream too!
really al? the little dwarf dahlias are salvagable? i had no idea - but then again, i have kinda bad luck with them in general. They are sold here as annuals...
Beautiful blooms - it's amazing that there are still blooms this late in October. Eleanor
great photos everyone... sorry I haven't been around for a few days.... putting a new roof on the house and have a cold.... been kinda beat .... if anyone wants some of the johnny jump up seeds I might still have some left over from last year... I didn't collect any this year sorry

Allison:
Sorry to hear that you were under the weather, but glad to hear that you feel better today.
Amy - sure, they'll have tubers. They sell small bedding ones as annuals in their eyes.
