So as August quietly slips into September I thought I would show some of the flowers still blooming in the garden.
The Dancing Pettticoats cosmos have become giants in the front garden.
The Rudbeckia have made sunny yellow splashes throughout the garden.
Echinacea (Purple Coneflower) are still producing their lovely purple/pink flowers.
The Rose 'Innocencia' has started to rebloom with the cooler temperatures.
Being away most of August has left me with a garden that very badly needs weeding, Sara Stein has a lovely quote about this situation...
`I appreciate the misunderstanding I have had with Nature over my perennial border.
I think it is a flower garden; she thinks it is a meadow lacking grass and tries to correct the error.`
Maybe I will leave it as a meadow for a couple more days and just enjoy
the last blossoms of summer.
Take care and thank your for visiting!!!

What a lovely quote - one worth saving. The weeds rise up as soon as there's a rainfall here - they grow 12 months of the year.
What a beautiful white rose Jen. The Cosmos look so pretty with their airy foliage. Beautiful pictures.
Smukke blomster.
Ja det er med at nyde dem så længe det varer.
Hi Jen
Pretty flowers, and I know what you mean about our summer that has just drifted by us.
See you for lunch next week.

Thank goodness for cosmos and rudbeakia, though mine have already gone to seed. The cosmos are fading, along with the summer. We still have the summer heat and I hope September brings her cooler days with her. Beautiful photos today.
What pretty flowers! I think you should just enjoy the flowers, and forget about the weeds :)
At the end of August, I keep repeating, September is still summer, September is still summer.
Your garden is beautiful, never mind the weeds. It's always hard to come back but I'm sure you'll have it in shape in no time!
