On the Goldsmith farm they grow more than veggies. The store was bright with fall flowers. It seems to be a tradition here to put out pots of 'mums' at front doors at this time of year, leading up to the time you can add a pumpkin or two. So I got a few flower pictures too.
There were some nice cut flowers, and we bought a handful of glads to brighten the kitchen.
Adding some ornamental grasses to a pot of mums is a popular thing to do.
Goldsmith's has their own big planter of flowers out front too.
Then I got bored and started trying some close-ups with my iPhone camera - seemed to work quite well. Today is a rainy day and we're just having a nice quiet day inside, a welcome break from all the goings on of the past two weeks!
I've seen some spectacular selections of mums this year. We bought my mother in law a pair of gigantic pots of them to put on either side of the front door of their old log home. They are just beautiful and smell divine!
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty flowers. I love the fall flowers and am impressed with your closeups with your phone. Nice! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuper close ups, and those grasses, perfect backdrop for bright colours in every variety and petal.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower photos. Enjoy them now; it will be winter soon enough!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteDaisies are my favourite flower in a bouquet. White ones are nice, but for me yellow is the best. - Margy
ReplyDeleteVery colorful for this time of year
ReplyDeletecolors, you found lots of colors -- Beautiful!
ReplyDeletemy yard needs more color...about now, the critters have pretty much eaten all the blooms
ReplyDeleteDo enjoy all your flower photos. There was a time when I did lots of flower gardening. We should be feeling like fall it would seem with the calendar but with daily temps in the 37 to 38 C range it is still deep summer. Not much of a break in sight either. That is the price paid for milder winters.
ReplyDeleteYou took some wonderful shots of all the fall colors. The business has a lot of variety of flowers that I would have to buy if I were there.
