Garden Photos #31

Coreopsis 'Full Moon' and dwarf butterfly bush are still blooming. Not many sections of the garden are this colorful now.

The drought has effected a lot of plants this year in one way or another. The fall sedum seem to be smaller and not as brightly colored.This is sedum October Daphne.

The most colorful plants in my garden now are annuals. Verbena and cosmos.

and finally it looks like the hobbits have moved in and started a garden. I am still waiting for the new front doors for the house.

i told my wife about your hobbit house pat :) she was worried i would build my own.........

LOL Bill. She probably is sure it would be a much larger project than mine and with much better rock work I am sure.

yup - i think is worried about a cave in :)

What !!!!!! no deer fencing for the hobbit garden?
What is the hobbit equavilant of a deer anyway?
Good issue for a naming contest.
My first entry "Nibblette"

Oh, such a cute little garden.....I vote for your name, Jo....

love the cosmos shot!!!!

Thanks all. JoAnn I like your name for tiny munchers. I think they are making a "Nibblette" resistant garden, always a wise approach. ^_^.

Love the hobbit garden! Nice color on the cosmo.....I need more than just pink & white ones I think. :)

And so easy to grow....just scatter the seed....

some pics... and Halloween has officially begun!!!!

LOVE, LOVE the Gargoyle!!!!!

we picked up one for each column he made for the fence.. love the christmas tree shop!!!

Thats going to look great!!!!

just wait until you see what he is building for the ghost with the motor... the only way I can describe it... a huge shadow box... we picked up some of that cheap brick paneling from HD to put on the front .. and black lights to go in the inside

Cool! I can't wait to see it! Wish I could talk Brian in talking a long drive...but pictures will have to do! LOL

and video!!!

yes, video is even better...get the sounds too :)

Cool gargoyle. Is that purple flower in pics # 11 and 12 monkey flower
Chinese forget me not, I took the seeds from the ones in my wildflower garden and spread them in my blue/yellow/white garden, they just started to bloom

Buckeye on the cfmn

Bumble on autumn joy sedum

Tuberose finally opened.

Cyclamen, I almost didn't see it, the leaves aren't out

the ones I grew from cuttings from last years plant ... still have not bloomed.. wonder if there is a trick to it... they are big and full.. but no blooms

Flow...hahaha
Very pretty flower, says on the comments that it's easy to root, wonder why they haven't bloomed????

Some last shots from here. The nights are consistantly cold 40's+.
The hard freeze is predicted for mid October but nights this cold will whack out the coleus.
Impatiens and Caladiums.

they root as easy as coleus... maybe I took the new cuttings too late... don't remember when I did them

bummer JoAnn :(

It will be a sad day.
Nevermind all the signs of fall,I just cant let go of summer.

Nice photos....glad to see some things are still blossoming.....I still have some nicotiana....

Woodland.....

does the woodland smell?

No, Allison, it doesn't....just reseeds all over the place, & it's a huge plant....

I uuummm found some seeds on the plant at Atlock last year... didn't sow any yet though

"Found some" LOL

yes.... I was deadheading for them

Hee hee he
