It's a gorgeous plant. <br />Those pink Impatiens look like miniature roses. So beautiful!<br />Nicotiana has been more frost resistant for me than most other annuals. I love it, and the calendulars too...which are still blooming.<br />That Meyer Lemon looks good enough to eat :)<br />I am so impressed with your pond. It looks lovely year round and the hardy Fuchsia is so beautiful! I wonder if it would grow here. <br />It's been fun catching up with you this afternoon.<br />The photo of the Littlest Gardener on her birthday is so sweet. I hope she had a wonderful day.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-13815132371418490972010-10-20T08:01:52.336-07:002010-10-20T08:01:52.336-07:00Hi Catherine - Those impatiens look huge - a fir...Hi Catherine - Those impatiens look huge - a first quick glance and I thought they were a pretty rose. Despite that cooler summer of yours you still have plenty reflowering. That primula is so beautiful and Heuchera caramel is holding her flowers really well - caramel is a tempermental one for me.<br /><br />Winter arrived here with us today - snow on mountains, blizzards further north and roads closed. Glad I hunted for the gloves yesterday. Thankyou for popping over to my blog - mine is a bit slow now with posts as I'm focus on developing my photography skills just now ( excuse the pun!lol).Rosie Nixon Fluertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851979959739600135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-7511707994847042002010-10-20T06:40:50.658-07:002010-10-20T06:40:50.658-07:00Hi Catherine,

I have missed growing I gave up on growing plants that are easily shredded by hail and wind.<br /><br />Those lemons looks delicious. My mouth is watering thinking of lemonade or pie.

All do though seem to agree that below average temperatures should be expected. We've stocked up on row covers, and are crossing our fingers. I'm convinced there's no such thing as 'normal' weather out here ;)<br /><br />Love the Sedum, the color of yours is looking so intense. I really need to plant some next year, if only for the butterflies.<br /><br />It does look like littlest gardener's efforts have paid off from last year! Unfortunately our Meyer lemons are still decidedly green, but I'm sure they'll begin to change color soon.Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-63490279853467945112010-10-18T09:54:55.948-07:002010-10-18T09:54:55.948-07:00My Autumn Joy Sedum also bloomed in the spring.

The light blooms of Chocolate Eupotorium are a much brighter colour than the basic one, very nice.
