October Flowers

Getting our first look at the Alstromeria blooms. These are from Karen Decker, I really like them & I'll have to discover a spot where the gold throat could be better shown off. Right now they are on their own but I think they could use some contrast.

Chrysanthemums planted out in the new herb garden, a gift this fall from Claudia.

The blanket flower continues to bloom and also leaves these really nice puffs behind.

Lilac poppy grown from seed, these are still blooming and the bees are still buzzing around them.

The Godetia is putting on a second bloom for October. I thought they were seed pods, but it turns out it's a combination of seed pods from earlier blooms and new flowers.

The Hydrangea blooms are all turning deep purple, it's truly gorgeous.

The pink Euphorbia is incredible, however I think it's this lovely shade because it's dying, if it were healthy it should look like the one above it. Hopefully it will put on some roots and come back okay next spring.


Asters from Lonnie.


Autumn Crocus with just pruned lavender.


Before long the green leaves at the top of this photo will be a much taller Japanese Maple tree and all this color will be at it's feet.























An new and unknown flower, a gift from Sharon. Something to discover.

A Euphorbia...unidentified.
