September garden at Rosanne's

I am on Gramma duty again..... with teenagers I must say very easy, so I get to play and shop and enjoy Rosanne and Steve's garden.......
At the end of summer ( this weekend is the last weekend) we are enjoying the best weather of the season.
No rain, sunny bright days warm in the day, coolish at night.......heaven !
Some pots Rosanne planted up seem to be glowing in this weather;
By the front door, the salvia and mum compliment each other and the purple verbena add a nice trailing effect..

In the front flower bed is a striking colour combo; blue, 2 shades of purple and white, simply beautiful.
On the back patio.

Trying to reflower before frost, will this delphinium make it?

One lone day lily, still flowering;

Black eyed Susan's, shining;
Green Moon Japanese maple just starting to change colour;

Grass garden in its glory;

Hydrangeas:my favourite is the bluish mauve one,


Last blossom on the fuchsia butterfly bush;think I will prune off spent blooms to see if I can encourage more flowers and butterflies........Steve did leave the pruners handy for me in case I get the urge to prune anything(he knows I love pruning for some strange reason!)

Trailing nasturtium is still flowering beautifully.

Now where did Steve put those pruners?

The first and second photo are breathtaking. Love it. I know you must have found those pruners by now. You are funny.

Have a great weekend. Becca

I love the purple and white composition of plants - stunning!

Why do gardens always look better in photos than real life? Thanks for highlighting them Mom!
