I managed to find a few flowers for a vase this week, despite more frosty mornings. I love these brave little flowers that seem to hold on as long as they can!   In my garden, Sweet William blooms late June through most of July, but this year some of my plants have surprised me with a few late flowers!  Mountain Bluet was a gift from our neighbor. It blooms almost nonstop all summer and into the fall. The second picture was taken last November!
Lavender seed heads...  Catnip...  The chives have a few flowers right now...  More snapdragons...  The last nicotiana flowers. Th plants still look healthy despite the frosts, but the flowers are gone now.  The heartsease is thriving!  And that's my vase for this week! I'm looking forward to seeing what others made at: ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com/2017/10/16/in-a-vase-on-monday-art-nouveau/

The centaurea montana is at its best in early summer but it does keep on flowering if it is deadheaded (I sometimes forget, but even so there are usually a few flowers). It increases quickly, too. My neighbor gave me a clump of it 3 years ago, and I now have 3 clumps and probably should divide it again! 10/17/2017 09:32:15 am
Spent flowers can look sculptural and interesting in their own way. In fact, I'm putting together materials a post on that topic right now. Our weather is also beginning to limit the flowers in the garden. I like the way you used the fallen leaves as a backdrop! Leave a Reply. |
