Wonderful, and I especially enjoy the birds and insects incorporated in your presentation!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Marie! I've had so many butterflies this year. It's been a treat. I've seen more Monarchs this year than I'd seen in the last five. I even had a Viceroy yesterday morning. Sadly it flew off before I got a picture of it.
DeleteOh so beautiful! Love the birds and butterflies! Your garden is so full of gorgeos flowers!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!!!! I really love all the birda and butterflies too.
DeleteLovely blooms and great shots with the hummingbirds!
ReplyDeleteThanks Loree! I wish we had as many species of hummingbirds here as you do out west. We only have our Ruby-throated hummers but I so enjoy them. Every time I see your great flower offerings I can just see them with hummingbirds enjoying those flowers in my mind's eye.
DeleteThanks Kathy! the fuchsias are so great this time of the year. I'm going to begin the process of cutting them back and getting them ready for winter in the next week or two. It's always sad to cut off all those stems that are smothered with flowers.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. I like that little coreopsis too. So glad you're on the Bloom Day brigade!
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise, I'm really Enjoying Bloom Day. It's really fun to see what's going on in everyone's gardens
DeleteWow - so many beautiful blooms. I love your fuchsia collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks GG!
DeleteLooking good! Love the picture with the hummingbird and Fuchsia Southgate! For some reason most of my Fuchsias did nothing this year-hardly any flowers at all. Despite my old aversion to pink, I think I need some of that Canna 'Pink Sunburst'.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, my fuchsias here are blooming but don't have anywhere near the amount of flowers they usually do this time of year. I really think that hot summer impacted their ability to bloom well. ~~ Remind me to give you a chunk of the C.'Pink Sunburst' next spring when I divide it. It's really beautiful this year. All the Cannas loved the summer heat as much as the fuchsias hated it, LOL
DeleteWhat beautiful photos! This makes me want to be a real gardener.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Ava
Thanks Ava! Anyone who enjoys nurturing plants is a 'real gardener'
DeleteThank you for this dose of eye candy! My favorites are the second photo of Helianthus and the first photo of Northern Sea Oats. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gayle for taking the time to comment!
DeleteWow! Those are magnificent photos of a magnificent garden. I couldn't begin to choose favorites.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
DeleteYour photography just takes my breath away. It's been a gray, gloomy day here in SC, and your stunning photos just provided the burst of color I needed! Your fuchsias are spectacular--and the hummingbirds captures are lovely. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful blooms and art. Look forward to visiting again soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie! So very happy you enjoyed the pics.... I'm a shutter happy gardener so blogging is a perfect activity for me. I really appreciate the feedback.
