Well it looks like Autumn is here and it won’t be long until winter arrives and the ground is covered in snow. I know … depressing isn’t it?
It’s been such a cold rainy summer and now fall that I’m not looking forward to winter at all! So I’ll look back on our fleeting summer and show you some of the beauties that will get me through winter …
This is a lovely small rose called Lavender Dreams.
It blooms regularly throughout summer, but it’s one of the few roses that I grow, that I think, looks best in the fall. It’s colours deepen and it’s beauty just shines through once the cool weather arrives:
I can’t say farewell to summer without showing you a photo of a true summer flower! I always grow sunflowers in the planted boulevard in front of my house. In fact that’s often how people visiting our house for the first time find it … we say just look for the sunflowers and you’ll find our house.
One rose that I know will keep blooming into December is “Bonica”. This pretty little rose is one of my best bloomers. it blooms from June through until it’s covered in snow. What a trooper!
Do you have a garden? Is it starting to shut down now that we’re well into Autumn? Are any of your flowers still blooming?
I love flowers to and my garden, it gives a sense of relaxation and it makes the smell good too..
bonica is one the most beautiful kind of roses, i think it comes in yellow too, if im not mistaken..
dont worry coz it’ll only be for a few months and come spring these beauties will bloom again..
Your flowers are stunning! Simply breathtaking! Thanks for sharing the pictures!
You’re lucky to have those flowers at this time of year.
I love Autumn. Not too good with the green fingers, but your blog certainly is inspirational.
Wow.. Lovely flowers… That’s perfect for me 🙂
I so love Bonica, its color is fresh and cool and its blossoms is perfect.
