Last of the summer flowers




The faded hydrangea head still manages to look glamorous in her autumn colours.
A bit like me?

I love the seed heads in the garden at this time of year


Wedding White


A late poppy making a show befoe the bad weather sets in


The big brother poppy seed head - lovely when they turn brown for flower arranging


The bumble bee making the most of a late nectar bar


I have to dig up the geraniums and move them before the frost


Daisy and Gozzie having a rummage for worms


Last of the sunflowers


Lobelia - fading fast


Daring, in your face, dahlias - keep flowering their hearts out until the frost

  2. I just love the hydrangeas at almost every stage. We still have some bluish-purple ones but most are drying in the garage.

    You and your magic garden - beautiful.
