I missed last month's bloom day over at May Dream's Gardens, so i thought i'd do a quick garden round up today.
Amazingly there has still been not a hint of a frost. This means lots of colour is still surviving in the flower beds, but the flowers look a little bedraggled and forlorn, as if they feel nostalgic for their younger, summery selves! Even the roses are budding, it's nutty but i'm enjoying the slightly crazed combination of falling leaves and budding summer flowers!
Day by day the leaves are falling, but there are still enough to make the heart sing a little.
Time for a little rake-ercise i believe!

What a riot of colour in your garden! Looks like you've still got roses, I envy your green thumb!
ReplyDeleteSo much still flowering! The seasons are totally topsy turvy aren't they.
ReplyDeleteVery little in bloom here, which is a pity as I've signed up for Sue's year long Cut Flower challenge over at Backlane Notebook.
Wow, what a showcase of colors and blooms! We're also experiencing the lovely unexpected blooms and even fraise des bois among the gorgeous foliage. After the killing heat this summer, I'm loving fall!
ReplyDeletethat scabiosa just took my breath away! lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous blooms!
ReplyDeleteHappy GBBD :)
My annual scabious are flowering away just as strongly as they ever did - amazing! And to change the subject completely, have you seen that the second series of The Killing starts on Saturday? Yay!! Hope all's good and happy. J x
ReplyDeleteSo many flowers - such lovely color. It was a golden autumn here in NEW England - and now even that shimmer is gone.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color! We're just starting to get some fall foliage here; love the way those red leaves almost look like seedpods. And I'm not sure what those first blooms are, but they're lovely.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with that scabiosa.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am delighted to imagine all of the flowers mourning their younger days:)
Best get raking sistah!

Everything is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am doing a lot of rake-ercise at the moment too...never know whether to leave them until they are all off the trees or rake them at regular intervals. Whichever way, they are a blooming nuisance!

Beautiful blooms and the fall colors are wonderful.

Leaves, leaves! So many leaves! They are wonderful and the colours are astonishing this year, but, oh, the endless raking! Your photos are so clear and vibrant.
ReplyDeleteNo frost here either and it's so nice to see some colour in the garden still though your trees look like they have a few more leaves on them then ours.....they are almost, completely bare.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the warm wishes,

Some beautiful things in your garden still - the seasons do seem to have gone a little awry, though. We are still desperate for some decent rain!
