Thanks P.G. ... I love hydrangeas as you might have guessed. They give their all, beautiful from beginning to end.
Hi dear Heather. The long leggy fella' is Henry Eilers Strap Petal Black Eyed Susan ... (Rudbeckia
'Henry Eilers'). He's WAY TALLER than last season and very happy (until he gets a back row seat in the garden where his long legs will come in handy, peeking over the crowd). Hugs
Thanks Nancy but I fear they won't be spectacular for long. I'll be out tomorrow (after this drenching rain) with a heavy hand ;)

Lovely September blooms; even though everyone is talking about fall, we have to remember it's still actually summer! Seeing the bees on your flowers reminds us that winter is still a long time away:)
There is nothing quite so pretty, though, as flowers in the rain, as in your last post. Looks like those of us in the Midwest are getting the "good side" of Hurrican Ike.

Hi Karen. I agree, hydrangeas are stunning shrubs, lovely from start to finish.
Thanks Carol. Yea!
Our weather is so much cooler this week and I'm looking forward to sitting on my swings. I fertilized my flowers to extend their life a bit longer. The containers have been emptied and the pansies planted. I like to get them in them in so the roots get established.
Your collages are gorgeous! Such beautiful photography of beautiful blooms.
as always your photoge' is wonderful. so many beautiful things in nature, you could never run out of things to shoot.
Thanks Amy ... have a wonderful trip!
Big thanks G.G. ... collages show variety in a small space, why I like them.
Hi Marmee ... you are most kind. It's true, I would love to sleep with my camera and photograph my vivid dreams ;) so enjoyed your retreat photos.
Indeed it is Jack in the Pulpit, mr.mcgregor's daughter ... their vibrant red really shouts this time of year like so many plants colorfully saying goodbye.
