Fall Bloomers

Hello Fellow Gardeners,

Fall bulbs are in full bloom right now! This is your last chance before winter to enjoy the lovely colors, scents, and general joy that flowers bring! Here we will take you on a picture tour of some fall flowers that are blooming in public gardens around my area. Enjoy while you can!

Some Crocus peak out through lovely leaves…

Gladiolus provide rich and bright colors to a fall garden! These are a great addition because they continue to bloom right until the first frost, allowing you maximum enjoyment!

Bee Balm and Alyssum planted together can provide nice contrast and visual appeal to a fall garden…

Black-Eyed Susans are an old favorite that just happen to grow wild in my area!

A bird bath and a wreath of Marigolds is both striking and beautiful!

A dramatic river of perennial sunflowers…

You know me! I can’t resist roses! Here is a lovely antique rose from my own garden…

To add some drama to your garden, try mixing textures! Rocks are plentiful in this area, are free (yes free!), and can be quite beautiful with flowers planted in their various nooks and crannies!

Don’t forget a place to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for your comment! There are slim pickings in the garden this time of year, but even with the dropping temperatures, wind, and rain, gladiolus’ are so hardy they are still going strong! They are also one of my favorite flowers to indulge my interest in photography in because of the gorgeous bright colors! If you are interested in seeing a few more pictures, you may like “A Rose is a Rose is a Rose” and “The Rose Show.” They are my most recent postings that feature my garden. Of course there aren’t any more pictures of Gladiolus’ but you may just find a rose or two that you’ll like!
    Thanks again for your nice comment! I hope you come back and let us know how we’re doing or just to chat!
    Happy Gardening,
    Marie Suzanne
