Is it fall yet? The temperatures say no, but the garden is changing to reflect fall....or maybe the plants are just getting tired. My snack trays by Gem are fallish, and I felt like using them for tea today.
Black tea, and lemon loaf from the grocery store...too hot to bake!
Now, to see what late summer/early fall looks like at Sunsplash Gardens, scroll on down.
Kiss Me Over The Garden Gate
Clematis 'Ramona' had a lot of brown leaves, and I cut it back. Surprise: it rebloomed!
Russian sage and red roses, a nice color combination
Purple beautyberry
Malobar spinach is going nuts!
Some of the hostas are blooming.
Cypress vine
David Austin rose 'Bishop's Castle'
Another clematis that I cut back due to browning of the leaves: 'Claire de lune'
Surprise! The potted
PINK gerbera must have had two plants in the pot. And this one isn't pink.
Balsam
Blackberry lily then (July)....
...and now
Hope you enjoyed the cuppa tea and garden tour. Happy Fall - it's on its way!
