Nice Jen, can't wait for my sweet autumn to bloom!

They are finally getting used to me. ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

love that.. must be some new ones here now.. they freak out and leave .. even when they spot us through the window.. with the suction cup feeder .. cracks me up

O Celeste, that is such a cute shot. I love seeing them rest for a moment.

Nice shots, everyone! I've been absent from this thread for awhile and missed a lot. Had few problems here from the storm. Some large branches down and a lot of little, messy twigs all over. We did some clean-up work today and had a campfire. We lost power for several hours yesterday, but came back on around 6:30. I did an overnight, and she had her power off since noon yesterday and was still without power this morning when I left at 8:30 a.m. Many are still without power. There are about 200 or so trucks from a power company in Detroit coming over here to help out. This was worse than most nor'easters for us!

Here are some pics from today.

Helenium

Jo, I'm glad your sticking it out here. I thought about joining ATP, but don't know if I want to do both. I can barely keep up here, and I know all you guys, so hate to leave.

'nuther shot of the Helenium....

Here's something I'm thrilled and tickled to death about. Brugmansia, my first to bloom. I got 4 from a good friend last year, mature plants. Only one has buds so far. I also got a crinum lily from her. 2 of the brugs I overwintered in my cellar, along with the crinum lily. 2 brugs overwintered in my porch. The ones that were in the cellar are doing better than the ones that were in the porch.

Look at all the buds!

Flash pic in late evening...

and I saved the best for last....

Pixie that Hummer is just lovely. As my flowers fade and receede I will see less of the hummers.

very pretty Karen

Love the brugs Karen!!

Thank Jo!

Heather is in bloom.

Cutest thing ive seen in the garden this year all have to do with bee's. This one crawled inside a Hosta bloom to stay warm overnight. :)

Weigela is on a rebloom......anybody else ever get a rebloom?

'Night Beacon' still blooming

Can't remember the name of this coleus but I love it! Thanks Allison!!!

Echie 'Pow Wow White' first bloom.

Love the bee

Sideview

Me too Jo, this one was on the rose of sharon last week and literally rolled in the pollen. I was giggling watching it.

I broke out into a heart belly laugh a few minutes later when it tried to fly. It made it out of the flower and promptly had to grab the nearest stalk to hang on to. It couldn't fly it was so ladden with pollen. Hard to believe theres a bee under all that yellow !!!! Check out the stalks, only yellow where it grab on.

This is my "Where to stick another annual" garden. ^_^

Sedum 'Carmen' starting to change color. This is one of my favs due to the bright green foliage, the flowers start out white, then turn pink, and eventually crimson.
