It’s not that the garden doesn’t love heat, it’s that the garden doesn’t love heat when not accompanied by the occasional rainfall. It’s not that I don’t love heat, it’s that I don’t love heat when accompanied by high humidity. So neither the garden nor the gardener are terribly thrilled with the current weather pattern. I know I’m not alone though, and I know it’s one of those so-called ‘first world problems’ so I definitely should not be complaining. Especially since I saw a headline yesterday that predicted a colder and snowier winter is not too far off!
So here’s Six on Saturday, a meme hosted by The Propagator, with six photos of my blooming garden.
You still have lots of lovely blooms, Chris. The Rose of Sharon looks so pretty.
It is pretty. Somewhat drought tolerant, but the flowers would be larger with more rain…
My Rose of Sharon has three different coloured blossoms on the same bush – white, pink, lilac
Amazing!
Nice flowers. I can’t remember seeing liatris here in Montreal. I love them and in France I have a row in front of my house where the bees are every time.
They’re pretty popular here, especially varieties that attract butterflies.
I’m astonished by your goldenrod. A prodigy, that one. Speaking of over-achieving plants, I just realized I never posted a photo of a Liatris I found in east Texas; one bloom stalk was taller than I am. It must have been six feet tall!
O. M. G.!!!!!
I’ll get a photo of that one posted one of these days. It’s amazing.
