With my Connecticut gardens receiving soaking downpours – pushing three inches of rain since early yesterday morning – I have some soggy additions to the August 2011 Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day. Carol, at May Dreams Gardens hosts this garden-fest on the fifteenth of each month so garden bloggers from all over the world can share what's blooming in their gardens.
November 4, 2009. Annual salvia and ageratum continue to bloom in spite of the cold. Towering nearby are 6 foot tall cosmos that seem to reach for the sun's dwindling warmth, while the smaller cosmos bloom shown here hugs the ground. South-central Connecticut has seen light frosts, and even a light snow on October 15. The plants most susceptible to 30 degree temperatures have given up the ghost. But lingering still are the hardier garden souls, holding onto one or even a few stunning blossoms while the autumn leaves swirl around them. The photos here were all shot just before dusk today.
September 16, 2006 – and birthday wishes to my first-borne. Yesterday was Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day; a monthly event originated by May Dreams Gardens when garden bloggers post whatever is blooming in their gardens for everyone else to see. Travel and some computer issues (lost many photos including those of my peegee hydrangea) kept me from posting yesterday but - better late than never – here's what's blooming in joene's garden.
August 15, 2009. It seems that summer-type weather – hot and humid – has finally arrived in Connecticut. Morning glories to start the day and sweet peas grow not too far away.
