Wonderful pics! Love them all.
Save a few for those short dark days of, sigh, winter.
Ok, now, just where do all of your gardens stand, right now?
It's great to see so many of other peoples gardens.
Forgot to mention my "Guardian Blue" Delphiniums. In the middle of there second round of blossoms and one of the favourites in my garden.
Lilypon...thanks..I enjoy her too...the Fairy...I named her Desiree...I like to think of her looking in a garden book , .......desiring all the beautiful plants. LOL
Cheers, Carol
lololol.......I can picture that too quite easily!
My Bugbane is blooming!!!!!!!!
Brunette is the variety.
My lilttle gardens are very sad, with only a few drying up clematis blooms left, no roses, a few scattered diascia, 2 kosmos blooms. Of course my delphinium didn't even grow, never mind bloom ...sigh. I'm waiting for my Joe Pye Weed to bloom out back; hopefully it'll happen before we go on holidays Sept 24th so I can post it. Can't remember if its Sept. or Oct that it blooms, but I'm sure it'll be early this year, with the promise of an early autumn. I always miss seeing something bloom for the first time when I go on holidays. A few years ago, my lithops bloomed, a huge brilliant yellow flower, while we were gone for 3 weeks. I came home to a dried up stalk of course. Fortunately, my plant waterer recognized its significance and took a picture for me!
aaahhh. That's always the way it is. "You should have been here last week". I can't tell you how many times I've said that to people.
Added to that, I have just told someone coming to visit that not everything will be blooming but I will have noisy carpenters and plants piled on top of each other. Sometimes you can't win.
Next year will be better.
What are you having built now, Liz? and are you coming to the meeting on Thurs eve?
Don't know the names of some things in my garden. Went to take pix today but battery probs. Tomorrow should be recharged.
have the rudbeckia, echevaria - another bloom stalk - yippee - crocrosmia, white aster/daisy something or other, yellow same, chrysanths just starting, TIGRIDIA , BUNNY DIDN'T GET THEM ALL yessssssss shouting for joy, and some hostas, including one with a dark dark purple bloom. Wish I had name for it. a couple of heucheras = what are they doing blooming now???. Oh yes, don't want to forget hollyhocks, malva, cosmos and ? don't know name. One yellow poppy. the odd california poppy. Garden looks pretty ratty now. Cone flowers of course.

autumn colour
You have many treasures Elaine and your Granddaughter is very lucky to have such a wonderful teacher!
thankyou, and thankyou, again! Elaine
Amanda is a sweet looking girl. Grandaughters are a treasure to teach. I feel like I have more time to give now to 'nurture' than when my own daughter was young.
I don't have any autumn crocus...but I really like the photo of yours.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Carol
Is the plant you call an autumn crocus a colchicum (sp??). If so what variety and how long have you had it?
