My garden last Sunday afternoon
Fall is in the air and many of my late season plants are now blooming.
Largest square: a wasp on gooseneck loosestrife (Lysmachia clethroides). No one needs to tell me this plant is invasive. I know. I tried to tear it out of my gardens a couple of years ago...and looks who's back. Gooseneck loosestrife is pretty but I will be digging a whole lot out in the next few weeks. This time I'll leave a couple of plants since it's determined to be in this dry garden anyway!
Working clockwise: Buddleia (I'm not sure which variety bit it was the first of my Buddleia plants to blossom this year); giant rosehip of my Rosa rugosa; cranesbill geranium 'Roxanne', Japanese anemone 'Pembina' (Anemone hupehensis) and phlox.
Please note that I include the botanical names because they remain the same around the world but the common names vary.

you have the most beautiful garden!
Beautiful collage! I still wish to learn how to do this in Photoshop Elements.
I like this tour of your garden flowers. Each shot is a fine one in itself. That dark fellow is fearsome looking.
I think this is one of your nicest collages...such beautiful colors and a good variety.
"Fall is in the air"?????? It's going to be 95 here today, I think!
Beautiful flowers in your garden !
Hey all! By "fall in the air" I mean the day temperatures are still high here BUT the night temperatures are significantly lower. Lots of dew on the grass every morning.
Our maple leaves are still green, though.
A lovely tour! The colour of that phlox is wonderful.
very pretty mosaic
The hungry wasp on the flower is a delightful capture. Your garden grows very well and a treat to see when prettily arranged in the collage. :)
Wonderful shots from your garden. You have a lot going on in it.
Brilliant colourful pics. You're making me question why I live in the desert :)
Lovely flowers and very colorful! A beautiful mosaic.
I'm sorry to hear about the return of the gooseneck loosestrife, but all of your pictures are beautiful. I really like your collage.
As always a lovely collage.
So many beautiful captures!
Amazing photos. B
Gorgeous flowers in your garden--as usual. Isn't loosestrife pretty invasive and a plant you don't want anyway? Or is that a different variety? Great shots all! MB
I love your garden!
A beautiful garden and some really great photos!
You must have a lovely garden!
