A fuchsia in one of the planters. They look so pretty covered in raindrops.
Geranium 'Rozanne', which was a recent addition, has quite a few new buds. I can't believe it took me so long to discover this plant!
Zinnia 'Green Envy' is becoming a little more yellow now.
Cosmos 'Sensation' show no sign of stopping blooming. The plants are huge and can't support their own weight anymore.
The unknown pink rose. I noticed a trail of pink petals on the way to school this morning. I think my oldest daughter must have sprinkled them as she walked to school.
I saw that this Dahlia has just started reblooming. It ended up getting covered by one of the huge Cosmos. Now that the Cosmos has flopped over this Dahlia is getting more sun and blooming once again.
I'm going to chance it again and not dig up the Dahlia tubers. I planted these a year or so ago and even after our very cold and wet fall and winter they still all came back.
I don't even remember planting this white one. I tend to plant pink Dahlias so I was surprised to find this one blooming this summer. There are a couple of other Dahlias blooming as well, but I'll save their pictures for another day.Fertilizer Friday is hosted by Tootsie every week. Visit her to join in or see what else is blooming inside or outside other gardeners homes. It's going to be a fun challenge to see what I can find blooming outside each week.
Still going strong in your gardens. Love each and every photo here. What a beautiful trail of rose petals dropped by your daughter...I know it made you smile, it did me!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos. Love the comment of the trail of rose petals. How sweet!
ReplyDeleteNo fertilizer needed at your place. Wonderful pics!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I have three parakeets. They are most demanding. Two came free from Freecycle but we bought one. Two of the three are tame and ride around the house on shoulders. Folks love to play with them. I once had zebra finches and adored those little guys with their sweet chirps. I actually think I like them better but had a hard taming those guys. Birds are great in the house. I had no idea you had some.
Oh my god Catherine, how beautiful!!! It´s so great seeing some flowers are reblooming in your garden... those dalias are fabulous and so, so pretty!!! Your garden looks like being in spring right now!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend recolecting some seeds, I love to do that.

ReplyDeleteAmazing how you still have all of these blooming. The only things I still have are a few zinnias, mums, and montauk daisies. I love your pictures of the blooms with the droplets of water. -Jackie
ReplyDeleteThe only thing blooming in my yard now is the autumn crocus; much of the rest is mushified.
ReplyDeleteI love the coral-pink dahlia and am glad it's getting its chance to shine now that the cosmos have left the stage.
