Will this be the final blowsy bouquet of the year?
Colorful fall foliage is a cutting from Weigela florida 'Eyecatcher' ... growing in my garden.
But I'm so pleased to have a cutting garden at T's plot! In spite of the rain of the past month or so, T's allotment/community garden is drenched in sunshine most days.
With each bouquet picked these past few weeks, he's told me it would be the last. Not so, as you can see: The Zinnias from Renee's Garden Seeds - 'Berry Basket' - are continuing to produce abundant blooms. So, too, new Buddleia 'Miss Ruby' is proving to be a winning variety (appropriately perhaps, a plant from Proven Winners).
Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to photograph the bouquet when it was freshly picked, so it's already fading a bit as pictured.
Delightful! Have just been on Renee's seeds reading about sweet peas. Have you got yours in yet?
ReplyDeleteNever have any luck with sweet peas in my garden, Ian, but they would grow well at T's plot. You're lighting a fire here, and I must plant some there!
ReplyDeleteLovely bouquet... it looks freshly picked!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful how pretty zinnias are and how easy they are to grow? I used to let my kids toss the seeds and then watch over time as they sprouted and matured into flowers. Nice memories - thanks for the reminder ;=)
ReplyDeleteHi Alice i wonder how long is the zinnias vase life as cut flowers. We dont do that here because it is hot here. Maybe you can do it there becasue it's cold. They are so beautiful and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful against the dark blue of the vase.
ReplyDeleteThe current gales here are just about blowing everything off the trees and plants!
Me, yesterday I photograph my last blooming in my garden.
ReplyDeleteLovely bouquet.
And I am back on Blotanical, with my new blog.
What a beautiful colourful bouquet. Gives me an energy lift just looking at it.
ReplyDeleteHello all!
ReplyDeleteIncredible but true... yet another fresh bouquet was picked yesterday at T's garden!
Wow! I'm glad to hear you are still enjoying your fall bouquets.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them. I'm just a tad jealous!
