Non-stop roses

The day time temperatures are still nice enough but it’s beginning to get close to zero at night these days.

Surprisingly my roses, sunflowers and many of my other flowers are still blooming away quite happily as if they don’t care that winter will soon be here.

I took this photo a couple of years ago and I believe it’s of my Compte de Chambord rose, but it could be Jacques Cartier. I really should name my roses when I upload them to flickr eh?

I’ve got to remember Dahlias for next year!

I grew this dahlia last year and I never did get around to finding more like this one to plant this year. I just loved the type of flowers that this dahlia produced. It’s quite pretty isn’t it?

I had planted this flower in my front boulevard. It’s a short dahlia – only about two feet tall, so it fits most small garden beds quite nicely.

This is the Tiffany Rose. Aren’t it’s delicate petals beautiful?

I’ve only got one of these rose plants and I find it rather stingy with it’s beautiful flowers, but when it does produce some blooms they are absolutely outstanding!

Sedum is lovely in the Fall

Sedum - Fall Colour

Our Sedum plants have been flowering for about a month now. I took this photo shortly after they’d started blooming. Aren’t their tiny delicate little flowers pretty?

I even enjoy this plant when the flowers begin to die and dry up. The flowers and their stalks dry and turn a brownish color. You’d think that would be ugly, but it’s quite ornamental. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that some people cut these dried flowers and stalks and put them in Winter dried flower displays in their home. That’s how nice they look even when they are dead.

Green Beans

I took this photo a couple of weeks ago.

The green pole beans that I grow in a large container at the back of the house were beginning to die down, but some of the beans were hanging nicely in front of my metal sun ornament so I decided to snap a few pictures and this was the result.

Do you grow green beans? I actually like eating them raw although I can’t do that very often with my stomach problems. (raw veggies kill me) Raw green beans taste great. If you haven’t tried them before you should.
