    Alas blooms are diminishing as the colder weather comes upon us,..but still enough blooms to make one look out and admire them.

    Gorgeous photographs. I especially love the sweetpeas and the hydrangeas.

    Thanks Kathyd,
    those Sweet Pea are so fragrant the scent wafts into the sitting room.

    Don't those sweet peas look lovely with the rain drops on them? :-D I really must get around to planting some more in my garden next year. This year the squirrels either chewed on them or dug them up so I didn't get a single flower. :(

    I LOVE THAT 3RD PHOTO!!! But then you know I love pink!! :D Everything looks wonderful! I have one purple sweet pea that volunteers every year :p It has chosen a bad spot to grow, right at the bottom of the step but I can't bring myself to pull it out :-?

    I have a suggestion, since October is Breast Cancer awareness Month you should put together a post of all your pink flowers ;) You have some beautiful ones!

    Hi Eileen,
    i did well with the Sweet Pea,..so well the weight of them took nails from the wall,..but the scent was a joy to sit next to.

    Lovely blooms, Phillip. I like the combination of purple and pink sweetpeas. I haven't had them in my garden for a long time. Hard to believe Fall begins tomorrow. Hope we have an nice long Indian Summer.

    Hi Cayuga Morning,
    that Hydrangea,..is "Hydrangea macrophylla",Bigleaf,Mophead,..,..the same as yours except yours is blue,..its all down to the ph of the soil,..if you have Aluminum in your soil then you will most likely have blue Hydrangea,..if none then it will be pink,..at present i have a Hydrangea grown from a cutting which i am trying to change to blue from pink,..i may not be successful for a long period as its in the garden itself,..were it in a container then i could prolong the colour blue,..but i want a blue one,lol.

    This is the cutting,..there are two flowers underleaf.

    I managed to take home seeds from Utah,USA,..i think these will fully bloom before the really cold weather.

    Philip--
    Hydrangea cutting looks very healthy. good luck with the blue. Ironic that I am wishing for pink & you are wishing for blue!

    Lol,..there you have gardeners,..we always want the other colour,..but as i mentioned,..its far easier for me to change one from pink to blue than the reverse.
