My August 2010 gardens are parched in spite of regular watering. Still, on this Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day there's color to be found in my south central Connecticut gardens.
November 15, 2009. It's a stretch to find bloomers in November in south central Connecticut. Mostly you have to look low, where this thyme hugs the ground and nearby steps so it can soak up any lingering warmth.
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.
October 15, 2009. In honor of Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day and in spite of light frost, some flowers remain defiant to the cold.
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.
