All seems
quiet in the garden, leaves are falling, the sunlight is softer; you feel
autumn is coming. But nonetheless, there is plenty of activity in my garden.
During the
gardening season I write down the things that I do not like in my little
notebook. So you won’t forget! Now it's time to take action and make the
necessary changes. The tall grasses are ready to move to my daughter's garden.
The Knotweed (Persicaria amplexicaulis) that wanted to take over the entire
garden is cut in half, new plants are ordered and planted. I want to finish all
these changes before the flower bulbs arrive.
During
these activities I still enjoy the flowers in the garden. Dahlias, roses,
zinnias, they all bloom abundantly. It seems like they want to keep the summer a
little longer for me. I pick generous bouquets from the garden. Bouquets in
warm autumn colours.
Autumn, I‘ll
have to face it, but I don’t want to think about it yet!
Happy Garden Bloggers Blooms Day!

Hetty, your vase looks spectacular! What are those spikey long red flowers that look like little brushes? Those are very interesting. And, is that apricot rose Crown Princess Margareta? What a lovely color.
ReplyDeleteSince you mentioned buying bulbs, I was wondering where you buy your iris germánica? Here, they are very diffcult to find, so I placed two orders with Cayeax in the past, but now they have raised their shipping price to €15, which is very expensive for us with our little Spanish salaries.
Enjoy your flowers! Saludos,
Karen
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour roses are beautiful! We don't grow any, but I do enjoy them when I get to see them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower arrangement! I like your idea of writing down things you don't like. I want to start keeping a gardening journal.
ReplyDeleteI always feel sad when i see beautiful flowers and plants in temperate country blogs, but thinking they will be immediately affected by the incoming frost. At least here with us the annuals still continue growing, just be affected by the hot sun during the dry season.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of some beautiful flowers ...Roses are treat to eyes whenever they are in bloom.
