There are still several other flowers adding lots of colour to the garden, as well as seed pods starting to form. At this point in the garden year besides harvesting veggies, Mrs. F.G. harvests seeds of particularly successful plants. Other flowers are just fading away but for others it's the leaves that provide the colour.
There are pretty Cosmos here there and everywhere.
The same goes for the Calendula.
Some of the Coneflowers (Echinacea) are fading fast.
Other flowers like the White Globe Thistles are forming seed pods as fast as they can go.
The Balsam is attracting flies, bees and the Hummer as I watch.
And some plants just provide bright coloured leaves.
Mrs FG is an expert gardener imo.
ReplyDeleteYes. fall is coming and most garden plants are fading.
ReplyDeletemy gardens look about the same, with plenty of cosmos!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember now when my mom grew balsams. I never have. It is tough to start shutting down our gardens. I need to catch up reading your posts. I always enjoy the things you and your wife have in the gardens.
ReplyDeleteYou've still got a lot of color.
ReplyDeleteYour fall garden is a delight to see. :)
ReplyDeleteThe last flowers of the season seem extra precious 🌸 🌸 🌸
ReplyDeleteHardly anyone grows Balsam anymore, I used to grow it when we had the greenhouse business. Very nice Fall flowers!
