Top row : Limelight hydrangea still going strong; Sweet Autumn Clematis join the show, Ah, the ornamental grasses glow, mums, phlox and sedum all in a row , bee balm, plume poppy and chinese lantern , oh my, chartruese enters stage right, followed by asters, and blackeyed Susans.
The collage is a great idea! Looks like there is a lot going on in your garden for bloom day.

That's a very pretty collage you've made. And you have a nice list of blooms too. I enjoy seeing what other garden bloggers have in flower in their gardens, don't you?
ReplyDeleteBTW my blooms for GBBD are up too.
Thanks, Carol and yolanda elizabet. I will be over to see your garden in a jif.
ReplyDeleteOne would never know what a rough summer you Chicagoans experienced - your garden looks fresh and lovely Carolyn. Your foliage plants like the Limelight really glow!
ReplyDeleteAt first I couldn't see much in the collage - then realized it enlarged when clicked - very clever idea!

Thanks, Annie. Forgot to mention to click on to enlarge. Thanks for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteThe Limelight hydrangea is so incredible. Anything that looks like it and blooms for 3 months is most welcome in my small garden.
hi carolyn! these are great. now i see what you meant about my sweet autumn clematis taking over the green window trellis. the limelight hydrangea is so pretty! does that like sun or shade? I think i need one of those!
ReplyDeleteI love all of the chartreuse you have right now! So fresh, and yet still fall-like when combined with other flowering plants. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHey Gina,
ReplyDeleteThat Limelight likes sun or shade, doesn't seem to mind either one as long as you plant it right ( lots of acidic soil amendments such as peat moss or black forest soil conditioner) and keep it well watered.
You need one of those !
Hey Kim ,Blackswamp_Girl : I love chartruese in the garden because it's great year 'round. Thanks for the compliments.
ReplyDeleteWow - I see you have a huge Sweet Autumn Clematis growing! It looks wonderful on the fence. And I really like the Hydrangea and Japanese Maple. What a fantastic garden you have!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alyssa. I've finally got your link back up. I'm going over to your garden now.
ReplyDeletecarolyn gail, I love the different shades of green in your collage and the chartruese really pops.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Robin. Thanks for dropping by. I'll be visiting your garden shortly.
ReplyDeleteSuch great colors and textures for Fall, Carolyn. The garden of a master, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks, rosemarie, for your supreme compliment.
