A Peace rose is the star of this bouquet from my garden

Sometimes just one rose petal is enough to tell the story. Autumn is here.

A single rose petal falls on the table.

While natural light is my fave, here’s some person-made light illuminating my bouquet of garden roses.

Another rose photo of the flowers I had to pick before the big rains here in Seattle. A lot of rain ruins roses.

Also called “naked ladies” for their habit of flowering in the summer without their leaves, which appear and disappear earlier in the year. But I think they kind of look like naked ladies anyway, don’t they? At least some pink versions.

In Northern CA where I lived for many years these amaryllis relatives thrived and multiplied on sunny banks, no rain at all in the summer, creating masses of pink bliss every August. I am thrilled that I can get these to bloom at all in Seattle.

Pink Ladies or Belladona flowers are fragrant, too!

These darling little cyclamen plants bloom in late summer. I think this is Cyclamen colchicum. They like dry shade, quite useful in my Pacific Northwest garden.

Just a few days ago, sweet sunshine in the afternoon on my patio.

Bamboo and Japanese anemones beckon along the path to the back yard

Trying to get my garden well watered ahead of a big heat wave coming up. These small flowered hardy fuchsias bloom so well in the late summer garden.

Hardy fuchsias actually like quite a bit of sun, unlike the other, tender kinds

Double Delight is one of my top fave roses. Lit from behind, glowing like the star it is.
