I like this way to remember what was blooming in the garden in a certain month in a special way:
to pick one flower from each plant.
to pick one flower from each plant.
October is still pretty colorful.
This is what it has:
Hydrangeas 'Endless Summer', 'Nikko Blue', 'Angel's Blush', 'Princess Lace', 'Ice Crystal' (oakleaf),
Roses Knock-out, 'Carefree Marvel', 'Mr.Lincoln', 'Mother's rose',
Fuchsias 'Double Otto', 'Dollar Princess', 'Quasar' and NOID,
assortment of Dahlias, Japanese Anemone 'Honorine Jobert',
assortment of Chrysanthemums and Asters,
Sedum 'Autumn Joy', Rhododendron 'Honey Butter', Heuchera, Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost',
Salvia 'Black&Blue', Salvia 'Mystic Spires', Wild Cyclamen, Verbena rigida 'Polaris'
Verbascum chaixii 'Wedding Candles', Perovskia atriplicifolia,
Snapdragon 'Eternal', Dianthus, Nicotiana, Primrose, assortment of Geraniums.
The best bloomer right now is Campanula poschkarkyana 'Waterfall'. This Serbian bellflower has been blooming repeatedly through the summer and fall. Outstanding bloomer!
Fuchsia is another superbloomer.
I hope your October basket has some colorful gems too!
Such a lovely blog Tatyana thank you for sharing I so enjoyed your beautiful blooms.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Scotkat! It's always nice to hear from you!
DeleteWhat a beautiful way of treasuring your seasonal blooms! You have lots of spectacular color!
ReplyDeleteKarin, thanks! Each bloom is a treasure in October!
DeleteGreat idea and what a spectacular colours. I am impressed by the beauty of all the different flowers and there are more than we think in this time of year.
ReplyDeleteJanneke, thanks! Many plants try to give a final show, I guess!
DeleteWow, what gorgeous photos and I love how you've arranged them all on the cloth and in the basket...looks like a lot of work!! The blooms are beautiful! I can't believe you still have anything blooming in the yard now that you've picked so many to share!! Lovely-- all around.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jan! I enjoyed doing this inventory!
DeleteLooks like a lot when you gather it all together in one spot. If it is anything like our plot, the blooms seem few and far between when viewed in the landscape.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice approach for looking at October as a season of bounty.
Hi Ricki! Some parts of the garden look more colorful than others. Our front flowerbed looks almost summery because of fuchsias and roses. The front border is nice because of the blooming campanula, the side border is full of mums. Other parts have just few blooms.
DeleteI love your flower baskets! With all the flowers gathered together, one can appreciate the abundance you have in your fall garden.
ReplyDeleteDeb, thank you! It'd be nice to such an inventory every month, but I keep forgetting...
DeleteWhat a gorgeous way to remember what is blooming! Your blooms are lovely and your arrangements of them are stunning! Thanks for your wonderful photographs and the terrific idea!
ReplyDeletePeter, thanks! Can you guess what bloom irritates me? If you answer yellow dahlia, you are right!
DeleteBeautiful! I'm amazed you still have so many roses. They look so fresh and delicate laid out on the table.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it, Jason!
DeleteHow gorgeous is this...I love the variety of blooms
ReplyDeleteDon't you love Fall in the Pacific Northwest? There is so much still hanging on and bringing us joy. Your photos are outstanding as always, Tatyana. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a mild winter.
