A better question might be, "What's not blooming?" Passionvine and Chiapas sage are all I can think of.
The paperwhite narcissus (against tropical sage) is something I usually enjoy around Christmastime, but this is not a normal year.
Out front, the Fairy rose wrestles for space with plumbago, bulbine, blackfoot daisy, and salvia greggii.
A monarch lights on purple coneflower.
"Kingswood Torch" coleus
The always-reliable cosmos, which has been blooming steadily since April.
The volunteer Gerber daisy
The pigeonberry puts on more color in fall.
Delicate and dainty Cecile Bruner
The very long-lived red, orange, and pink zinnias--remember, Felder Rushing says, "Every color goes with every other color."
Love this pinky-orange.
It's after midnight, late again.
Everything looks lovely, Eleanor! I like that Felder Rushing quote - it validates my love for the combination of pink roses and orange cosmos in my garden!
ReplyDeleteI post late, or early...and it doesn't seem to make a damn bit of difference! I've come by your place twice for the backyard tour and you are never home! I want to see your backyard! Are you going to the MG X-mas party? if so, let's make a date! I didnt' you know you had an Alaska connection...we must talk!
