Last Day of Summer

 Today it is rainy and stormy. Autumn begins at 9 p.m. tonight.

Yesterday was sunny, clear and cool.  Fortunately, I did a bit of

deadheading and then went looking for my phone to use the

camera. The garden was full of bloom and bees and butterflies.

Here's a sampling of the colors, but no scents or flutters or buzzing.


Roses put on another show



Perennial Geranium reblooming


Gerber Daisy reblooming


The Lamium blooms look like
tiny orchids.


Cleome at starting to go to seed


Burgundy Sedum, White Balloon Flowers,
Cleome in Background
and a beautiful blue spiked bloom
in a pot that I cannot name.
It's the one plant I'd like to 
have again next year, of course!


Hints of autumn


and the Monarchs on the deck!



Good-bye, Summer!
