I entered the draw for this amazing book and actually won ! .. now that I couldn't wrap my head around for a bit .. I was so excited ..
I don't win draws a lot as you might guess.
So thank you VERY much Jennifer .. it is a gorgeous book and I can't wait to settle down and have a wonderful read from it : )
Jennifer has a fantastic blog with stunning pictures, so I hope you take the time to go over and have a peek.
The post today is about late bloomers at it is beautiful !
PS .. did you notice that I just had to add a Halloween item in this picture ??
Pink Turtlehead aka chelone obliqua ... I thought it was gone at least 5 years ago ... and now it pops up .. smiles at me ... or perhaps sticks it's tongue out at me? and there she is .. I can't find fault with it surviving like that and surprising me?
When she is in full glory like this I really feel Autumn is slipping into the garden : )
Besides ......... they are ORANGE ..... and my favorite "something" Halloweeny is ORANGE too !!

Congratulations on winning the book from Jennifer! I thought this looked like such an interesting book; maybe you can share some of the suggestions from it in future posts.
Karly Rose is indeed a beauty, the perfect accent for fall.
Love your new layout! I keep thinking I need to update mine; maybe this winter when the snow is flying and I'm wishing it were 90 degrees again:)
Those grasses are beautiful! The orange Marigolds will go great with Halloween if they last. I am getting out my fall deor tomorrow, ready for the first day of fall next week!

Hi Joy, Thanks for the mention and the kind words. I hope you enjoy the book. Turtlehead is a great bloomer in September, isn't it? I am glad yours made a reappearance. That fountain grass is very pretty. I like the pinkish tinge it has. As far as I am concerned, marigolds are so out their back in. Love that happy orange color!
Hello there Rose girl !
Thank you ! it is a beautiful book: )
Yes ! that is a great idea, thank you for reminding me : )
hey that is what our long boring winters are for .. to play with our blogs and make a plant wish list ? LOL
Eileen girl hello there .. I am a grass lover for sure .. they make me smile big time .. I have to get my decorations out properly .. I have fallen behind yet again !LOL
Hello Jennifer girl and yo are very welcome : )I love the book !!
I was so surprised to see that Turtlehead peeking at me LOL
Yes .. some of the old standards are clawing their way back .. I just can't let go of marigolds for some reason ? LOL Maybe because they survived this blasted summer ?
It is so wonderful to win draws isn't it? Congrats! That grass is gorgeous and does say autumn. Marigolds are reliable for late summer early autumn color. They absolutely need recognition!!
Darla girl I was tickled PINK !LOL
Yup .. some gardeners can turn up their noses to old fashioned plants especially annuals .. but there are some that have a place in my heart and they stay there !!
Hope you are feeling a bit brighter ? .. I know it must be so darn difficult .. I am thinking of you girl !
It's time for a little orange in the garden. Your marigold pic is beautiful as are all of your pics, my dear.
Congrats on the win. You'll be enjoying this during the winter months, I bet.
