In as wordless of a post as you may ever get from me, I went outside on a twofold mission…….1.) take a photo of anything I could find blooming in the yard and 2.) try not to get stung by anything while doing so ( I am newly allergic to bee/wasp stings yikes!) . Mission accomplished, and the photos …ALL 134 of them! are in the gallery. There are no multiples of anything ( for instance I have more sedum that blooms this time of year than I care to admit, so I took a photo of one to represent the group) and the photos are unlabelled and unedited which was part of the spontanaeity of the mission. You will see dahlias, butterfly bushes, roses, clematis , annuals, hydrangeas, trees,rudbeckias, mums, etc
OOgle more late summer blooms over at Garden Bloggers Bloom Day hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens
I really love my September garden! Hope you are enjoying yours as well!
Wonderful! What a bounty! Wish I could learn how to use snapshots as you have…such a nice presentation!
Wow! I have serious bloom envy right now! Our gardens are so tired and colorless, with the exception of Japanese anemones and lantana–and your gardens are just spectacular! I’m so sorry to hear about your allergy. I, too, suddenly became allergic to wasps/bees two years ago and never had a problem prior. Please be very careful–I was told my reactions would get increasingly worse (they have–I’ve ended up in the ER). How completely unfair for us gardeners to develop such a ridiculous allergy! Still–gardening is totally worth the risk! 😉 Happy Bloom Day to you!
