A garden variety...

I know many people are wering fall clothes, and talking about the Autumn breeze, etc., however, my garden just does not want to let go of some of the summer flowers. The following photos are a mix of some of the summer and fall blooms. It is nice that Mother nature is willing to share. So grab your sunglasses, and a shawl, and come for a visit to my garden.



I know, I know, how can a Mandevilla looks like this in NJ in mid Sept. - luck I guess! :)




Notice our girl stature peering 'round the corner She is amazing!


Thanks for stopping by! :)

    My mandevillas look the same. Kansas City has had the mildest weather ever!

    I wish my flowers looked like that! We've had such chilly, dry weather that all of my flowers are looking terrible.

    It's so beautiful! You've done a fabulous job. I think Mother Nature knows how much you love and care for your flowers so she is showing her thanks :o)

    Thanks for sharing with us!

    Amazing!! I actually took a photo on Sunday of a whole block of happy flowers...I couldn't believe how they were still thriving. I trimmed back by (dead) flowers, and planted some asters and montauk daisies in an effort to introduce some "late bloomers" to my little garden. We'll see how it goes!
