BUSY days

Over a week has gone by and we are enjoying beautiful days in the garden.  The hibiscus had over 30 buds about a week ago and day after day we are getting treated to multiple blooms.

The sedum are really getting beautiful.

Even our butterfly friends cannot resist a visit.

Not me, though.  Not a lot of resting here.  I went on the association landscaping committee, then volunteered to fill an open spot on the board.  If you’ve never served on a board, give it a try!  You will not be bored – lol!

This coming weekend will be more garden trimming – probably starting to trim back some of the hostas that are starting to turn.

 

Rainforest Sunrise hostas, and first fall apples

One of the last hostas to bloom in our gardens are the ‘Rainforest Sunrise’ hostas.  The leaves are gorgeous all season, but the wine colored scapes and lavender blooms are icing on the cake as the gardens wind down.

The sedums are pinking up too.  It’s that time of year.

And yet another sign of fall, this weekend the farmers market had apples!  I absolutely could not resist!  Crisp air, crisp apples.  Embrace the season.
