These are from the beginning of the week, with my new fall/winter work schedule it's still dark when I leave for work.

An over view looking towards the vegetable area..
'Petite Orange' marigolds and a stray red marigold..
Impatiens, 'Zahara Fire' zinnia and 'Bonanza Flame' marigold..
A 'Dahlia Flowered' zinnia..
'Apricot Blush' zinnia..
Seed grown 'Cactus Mixed' dahlia and friend..
'Zinnita White' miniature zinnia..
Last, but not least, the first flower of 'Pearly Gates' morning glory. I was starting to wonder if I would be entering those pearly gates before these bloomed. They are loaded with buds. I'm hoping I can get a few good days of bloom before frost..
Have a good weekend.
Your garden looks beautiful, so colorful,loved your comment about the pearly gates! I felt like that waiting for my solitary sunflower to bloom this year!
ReplyDeleteEd, thanks for the laugh, and I feel the same way about morning glories, I love them, but by the time they bloom here in WI, it's almost winter. Your Zahara red zinnia is gorgeous...I grew Zahara Rose Starlight from seed this year, but though the plants are still growing strong, the flower didn't have the pink 'star' center consistently. I would try the Zahara series again though, and I'm impressed by your red version!
ReplyDeleteYou guys up north need to start your Morning Glory's inside in peat pots and then move them outside for a longer blooming season. I love all of the fallish colors here today.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!

I hope you get lots of enjoyment out of your gardens before the frost! they are lovely...thanks for the beautiful flaunt this week. I hope to see you again soon!
ReplyDeletetalesfromagarden- At least I wan't the only one waiting. From what I hear this was just not a good year for 'Heavenly Blue' and it's sports above the Mason-Dixon line.
ReplyDeleteKaren- You have to try 'Zahara Double Cherry' and 'Zahara Double Fire', they outperform all the rest of the group!
Darla- If you want to get technical I am below the Mason-Dixon line ;P I just need to finally get over the 'Heavenly Blue' group. My 'Early Call Blue' comes close to it's color.
Deb- Thanks!
Tootsie- Thanks! If this weather keeps up I should!
