Summer peonies

Hunting for another photo, I found these perfectly pink peonies, with their soft shadows, languishing in a folder. Here’s to the bliss of summer flowers.

Brugmansia

A friend gave me a rooted cutting of this tropical Angels Trumpet plant a year and a half ago and how it’s almost as tall as I am. And this summer it bloomed! At night the whole house has its sweet perfume wafting through it.

It’s been foggy

Seattle has had a highly unusual weather situation. It’s been foggy for a week! This is what the view from my yard looked like yesterday.

Hardy fuchsia

One of the late-blooming flowers in my garden is the hardy fuchsia. These small flowers, only an inch or so big (3 cm), just keep on going. Last winter wasn’t too cold so this year the branches didn’t have to start from scratch, and the plant is about tall as my waist. In all the fog Seattle has been having, the color sure looks good to me.

Coleus

These coleus plants are growing near my front door. I grew them from seed, which is surprisingly easy, as seeds go. If you find the seeds, don’t be afraid to try it. It’s time to take cuttings indoors to root in water, for bigger plants next year. They are very frost tender and hate the cold weather but do fine as houseplants if they have good light.

Late red and white dahlia

A lot has died back in the yard (goodbye lemon cucumbers) but some things are actually going pretty strong. This red and white dahlia blossom with almost cup-like petals is still doing its perky, cheerful thing in my garden.

Autumn leaves macro

Went outside and even though the weather was cloudy, the colors of the leaves are fabulous. I love the autumn colors so much. I also love this post and am calling it my Best Post of the Week.
