SILENT SUNDAY

END OF SUMMER

TOMORROW IS THE FIRST OFFICIAL DAY OF AUTUMN, IT IS NOT MY FAVORITE SEASON HOWEVER BEAUTIFUL IT CAN BE. BUT WE HAD A REASONABLE SUMMER, THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF FLOWERS IN MY GARDEN SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN BLOOMING SINCE JUNE ! AND THEY WILL GO ON TILL THE FIRST FROSTS. MY GARDEN IS NOT SO BIG SO I LOVE PLANTS WHO BLOOM FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I TOOK SOME PICTURES THIS AFTERNOON.

A LOT OF MY FUCHSIA’S ARE STILL IN BLOOM ALTHOUGH YOU CAN SEE THE FIRST SIGNS OF AUTUMN

WHITE BEGONIA, LOOKING A BIT TIRED BUT STILL PRETTY

FUCHSIA TRYPHILLA STILL BLOOMING LIKE MAD

MY PASSIONFLOWERS STILL HAVE BUDS, BLOOMS AND  FRUIT, GREEN AND RIPE

A DWARF FUCHSIA WITH TINY FLOWERS, SO CUTE !

FUCHSIA MAGELLANICA IN COMBINATION WITH THE BEAUTIFUL BELL SHAPED FLOWERS OF KIRENGOSHOMA

AND LOOK AT MY ALBIZZIA JULIBRIZZIN, STILL BLOOMING SINCE JUNE ! A TREE WORTH HAVING IN YOUR GARDEN.

THIS GERANIUM HAS BEEN BLOOMING SINCE MAY !

LOOKING A BIT TIRED BUT STILL LOOKING SUNNY; CORYOPSIS

I AM ALWAYS A BIT SAD AT THE END OF THE SUMMER AS WE NEVER KNOW HOW LONG AND HOW BAD WINTER WILL BE THIS TIME.

THANKS FOR VISITING AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK !

IN BLOOM AT THE MOMENT

It’s high Summer at the moment so there are many plants in bloom but the first Autumnspiders are sitting in their nets, they are still small at the moment but they’ll be growing ….

MY ALBIZZIA IS STILL BLOOMING ITS HEAD OFF

MIRABILIS JALAPA

I’M GETTING LOTS OF FRUIT ON MY PASSIONFLOWER PLANTS

YELLOW DAHLIA

ANOTHER YELLOW DAHLIA, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE ABOVE

ANOTHER SIGN OF AUTUMN SOON TO COME, KIRENGOSHOMA PALMATA, A JAPANESE PLANT WHO WILL GET YELLOW BELL FORMED FLOWERS

THE BUDS OF A PINK SEDUM SPECTABILE, A SUCCULENT WHO ATTRACTS MANY BEES AND BUTTERFLIES WHEN IT’S IN FULL BLOOM

I HAVE LOADS OF FIGS THIS YEAR, THESE FIGS WILL NOT COLOUR PURPLE WHEN RIPE, THESE WILL GET A LITTLE MORE YELLOW AND WHEN THEY ARE SOFT YOU KNOW THEY ARE RIPE, THEY ARE CALLED “WHITE OF MARSEILLE”

THESE TAGETES WITH THE TINY YELLOW FLOWERS RESIST DROUGHT BETTER THAN THE ONES WITH THE BIGGER FLOWERS

MY FIRST AUTUMN ANEMONE THIS YEAR

HOW ABOUT THE BLOOMS IN YOUR GARDENS , ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THIS YEARS SUMMER , I AM  !!!!

THANKS FOR VISITING !! IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED !
