The Fall Garden

The garden continues to intrigue me, though it has slowly been fading, and has been subject to two major clean-up days so far.  The trees above are still green though, and there are a number of flowers still adding their colour to the back yard - yellow, red, orange, purple and more.

Our yellow rose continues to amaze us, blooming away as if nothing is going to stop it.  It's the healthiest looking plant in the garden at the moment!

This is the bright red bloom of a Canna Lily, of which Mrs. F.G. has several.

Starting to look bedraggled, the Helenium or Sneezeweed is one of my favourites.

There are still numerous bright Cosmos.

I must have taken 25 shots trying to get a bee to show up clearly.  Trouble is they keep on vibrating!

The purple Verbena just pops up everywhere!

There's a nice patch of fall Anemones.

And my top favourite, the Cleome, which did not appear until September.

  2. I am impressed with the longevity up your way. I guess we are a smidge colder here in Eastern Ontario.

  3. It always amazes me how nature always puts on a show at the beginning and end of the season, that we can all enjoy.
    Stay Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

  9. Wow, the yellow rose is incredible!
    I have cosmos too, but haven't been outside this morning just yet to see how things are doing a we dipped below freezing last night. The car windows are covered in frost, so I suspect the garden will have taken a hit. It's too cold to go out there. :p

  10. I love that your garden flowers are still blooming. I only have Dahlias and Sedum but that's okay. The frost would kill anything else, I think.
    You managed that bee picture perfectly! Mine wasn't as clear.

  11. You still have quite a bit of colour in your garden. Next year I must sow Cosmos again. For years they self-sowed but none came up this year.
