Garden bloggers from around the globe are still dishing up delights each day this week to remind us what an incredibly beautiful place our planet is. It seems to be us that’s the problem …
I’m joining in with Cathy at ‘Words & Herbs’ again and this time it’s a little more seasonal. However I’m still going to give myself license to reverse backwards in time if I feel like it for the remaining 2 days!
Now enjoy the other flower offerings by clicking on the links at Words & Herbs.
Beautiful food for the butterflies. 😉🦋 Really love that little lilac aster too right. Have a good day Cathy. xx
I love Asters as they are magnets for butterflies. Gorgeous
Bless you, Cathy, for contributing the beauty in this world. The problem is not all of us for there truly are those of us who understand how to live in harmony with all. (smile) xo
So thoughtful of the butterfly to color-coordinate with the plantings. Really a lovely creature, as are your flowers. What is the rusty-hued rudbeckia-looking one?
Hi – had to check back – it’s Helenium ‘Moerheim Beauty’.
Thanks. It’s lovely.
Eye candy! 🙂 So pretty, love the asters… would you happen to know the cultivar of the Helenium? I grew a yellow and a rather drab orangey-red one this year. I enjoyed the late summer colour, but might replace the orange one.
Oh Eliza – that’s a bit sad. I think the helenium is one called Loysden Wieke (rather unusual with little crimpy petals). I have now lost it, I’m afraid. The garden’s not really damp enough above for heleniums, but I’ve started to grow them down below and am hoping for more success!
Lovely blues and purples. Is that Queen Anne’s Lace in the first photo? It looks very much like one I have in my garden. I just cut back the old flowers and being a new plant for me, I’m not sure whether it will flower again.
It’s actually Ammi visagna, which is a kind of Queen Anne’s Lace (called ‘Bishop’s Weed, I think). We don’t have the normal wild one in the garden (which is sad, I had it previously), so I have to sow seed. I think Queen Anne’s Lace is either an annual or a biennial, but if it’s happy with you it will sow itself everywhere. Ammi visagna is doing that now in our garden. Have a good weekend!
Thank you for these photos that absolutely overflow with life. I’m certain the.blooms brought you much joy.
They did indeed – and, I think, I’m not alone in feeling that looking back over this year’s photographs has brought a lot of joy too?
Fabulous Michelmas daisies Cathy 😄
Lovely asters – and they can be real stars of November gardens
Thanks – and they actually grow here, unlike many other things!
The butterfly and the flowers are so beautiful.
