I thought I’d wander around the garden and see if I couldn’t find a few blooms to send along.  There’s not much as we here haven’t gotten anywhere the rainfall amounts that others nearby have.  I’ve done my best to avoid the brown foliage that shows through the garden this year.

Begonia grandis ‘Heron’s Piroette’.

A larger growing Turtlehead along with Anemone japonica ‘Honoring Jobert’ down by the pond.

Another Anemone japonica ‘Pamina’.

Colchicums are coming on strong throughout the garden.  A great bulb for those of us with heavy clay-loam soil!

Another C. speciosum.

Colchicum agrippinum – one of my favorites.

Another fall blooming bulb Sternbergia lutea – this is one of several that I separated from a big clump last summer and scattered about the garden.

Lots of Asters are starting to flower – this is ‘Harrington’s Pink’

An unknown Hygrangea:

This Hydrangea is quercifolia ‘Little Honey’.

Lastly a mixed collection of Anemone, Aster, Chrysanthemum, Coneflower and Little Bluestem Grass.

Now if we’d just get some real rain here!
