“You’re only here for a short visit. Don’t hurry, don’t worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.” —Walter Hagen
Autumn is flying by and my flowerbeds are fading but, there's still beauty to be found.
 |
| Hydrangea has been especially lovely this year. |
 |
| Impatiens have surprised me with their longevity. |
 |
| A lone Spiderwort, also called Widows Tears is blooming. |
 |
| This yellow Rose has bloomed off and on all summer and into the fall. |
 |
| Little Joe-Pye-weed is well loved by pollinators. |
 |
| Sweet William |
 |
| Asters in bloom |
 |
| Begonia |
 |
| Unnamed annual that I'd like to gather seeds from. It's very pretty. |
 |
| A succulent that blooms just when the garden needs some color. |
 |
| Wild Asters |
 |
| Another Wild Aster |
 |
| Sedum or Stonecrop |

| Russian Sage |

The Autumn garden is a place full of hustle and bustle. There are many kinds of pollintators getting ready for their winter sleep who are tanking up. Seeds are everywhere, ripe for the picking. I'm hoping to grow a few plants from seed next year.
Here's to a Happy Autumn for all!
