In Bloom

Should pull it with that powdery mildew.

For the mum hatters. It's mum season.

Another house plant for indoors after being treated for possible bugs and a systemic.

Couldn't get this container to do well this season. It's had impatiens and other blooming annuals without success. The sweet potato vine seem to like it her. I dug her up last fall and hope to dig it up again this fall maybe with a second tuber. I had another tuber I gave to my sister. She planted it in her flower garden in the yard and it every where with huge leaves.

Love this color coleus and hope to over winter it.

House plant shopping for my birthday which isn't until September. I did this las year also as a retirement and birthday shopping spree.

The second shrub to die in this container this year although I watered it well in the heat. It's been a rough summer.

Birds must have put these seeds here because I didn't plant veronica.

Annabell hydrangea burned up from the sun even with water. It was pretty in the spring.

Summer

 

Tried to capture the bumble bee inside the  balloon flower.

My round cedar shrub died in the heat and was removed. Gives me a chance to pick out something else to take it's place.

Hydrangea Annabelle has a lot of blooms this year. Love them while they are white before the color fades.

I love daisies.

Love that snap dragons can be direct sown and bloom up until fall and may return next season.

The best part of summer.

Bee balm finishing it's bloom.

Hydrangea paniculata setting blooms.

Won't plant bachelors buttons again. Love the blooms but took over the sunflower and zinnias. Summer without zinnia or sunflowers was not what I planned.
