The last blooms on the roses. When they open they aren't lasting very long now, but the last bud is just opening.
The black eyed susans, or rudbekia, are hanging in there. There are lots of seed heads to drop seeds for next years plants. The plants are beginning to look at bit worn out now and will soon be cut down for the winter.
The last blooms of the coreopsis are still nodding in the wind. This has to be one of my favourite perennials as the blooms start early in the season and continue right till the very end.
These might be the last blooms in the garden but I can enjoy them all year round just by viewing all the photographs I took during gardening season.
Hi Linda
ReplyDeleteAt least we have the photos of our flowers to remember them by over the winter.
I've never had cosmos reseed for me.

Hi Linda, the goldfinches stopped by my yard here in VA (zone 7) to strip the seeds from the mimosa trees. I sure hope they get them all. Those things are invasive! We still have a few things blooming but they're well on their way out. I'll enjoy your pictures throughout the winter, too!

Your garden looks a lot like mine - tired but still trying to hang on! At least we had a wonderful gardening season. Let's hope for the same next year.
ReplyDeleteSo sad, goodbye dear flowers. I have a few still hanging on but probably not for long. I won't truly miss them until after Christmas. I will soon be starting up my wreath business so I wouldn't have time to play in the garden anyways. January is when I finally give my houseplants some much needed attention.
ReplyDeleteFall is such a pretty time of year. It feels so good to have the pantry full, get some crisp mornings, feel a lightening of the task load. However, I don't like winter, and fall reminds me winter is coming, so my enjoyment is dampened somewhat.
ReplyDeletewe really couldn't appreciate and love our flowers so much if we didn't get to see them starting life again in the spring (my favorite season)
Things are winding down here too...a couple coriopsis and a black-eyed susan...Michelle
ReplyDeleteI have pretty much cut back everything this year. DH has the yard cleaned up so nice 1st time since his we found out about his heart condition. then the nasty winds came & blew some big dead branches out last week... something left for him to do, I guess :)
