Late Summer Flowers

After the Day Lilies are finished, we're starting to think fall is coming, and the bright flowers in the garden are nearly finished.  But that's not entirely true.  There are several great flowers that bloom now that continue to add colour well into September.

One of my favourites, perhaps because my grandparents had one growing against their old barn, is the Morning Glory.  These bright pink ones bloom on our front porch, glowing in the morning sun.

And these gentle pink ones are on the deck.  It's hard for me to believe that plants can put such energy into beautiful blooms that normally fade by lunch time!  They come by their name honestly.

Looking quite similar, but with a completely opposite bloom time, are these 4 O'Clocks,  They bloom in late afternoon, and also come in varied shades.

 We also have a Clematis that is a late bloomer.  I can see it against the shed outside my window.

We have a Buddleia or Butterfly Bush in a stunning deep pink colour and the Monarch loves it!

A beautiful blue Agapanthus currently visiting us.  We need to get one of these.

My favourite overall is the Crocosmia.  Ours are the bright red ones, and as you know, I just like the bright colours!

  1. They are all beautiful, but I think I love the butterfly bush the best! And the pretty monarch clinches it for me. :-)

  2. Aha... I have a flower not quite out and after seeing your Crocosmia, think that is it!! Love the morning glories, but the later flowering one , 4 O'clock is truly delicate in your photo. The stones are a perfect edging for your garden and the flowers, beautiful pale grey colour.

  6. I love Morning Glory flowers but we do not have enough Sun here at our shady place to grow them. Morning Glories take me back to my childhood where we had many of them growing up the side of our veranda. Nice that you have all those colorful flowers growing around you.

  9. Such a beautiful array of flowers and they are bringing you joy from morning to evening by the sounds of it. It is sad to see the bright colours leave us. My hibiscus is almost done flowering and my dahlias about to begin. Oh! Plus one sunflower! :)

  14. Have not thought of morning glory as a fall bloomer, but here they can be almost invasive so I pull many of them out.
