I hate seeing my garden die down in the Fall

I used to love Autumn, but now that I garden there’s some sadness whenever fall arrives.

I hate to see my garden die down for the winter. I know it’s part of a cycle, but I sometimes wish that I lived in a climate where my plants could bloom year round.

Hmm maybe this year I’ll be as successful as last with my indoor plants. Last year, between my garden plants blooming from late March until early December and my indoor plants (Orchids, indoor tropical hibiscus, Amaryllis etc) blooming from late December to April I had blooms all the time. It was lovely.

This is a picture of the Cosmo’s blooming outside my house in my planted boulevard. They’re starting to die down, but a few of the flowers are still stubbornly blooming.

I like how the petals of this rose, Yves Piaget, go wild as the flower begins to die down. Isn’t this a pretty rose? I love it’s color.

What’s blooming in your garden right now as we head for winter?

Lovely white phlox in the garden

Well summer’s almost over but you wouldn’t know it if you took a look at my garden.

Most of my plants are still blooming and I expect them to keep blooming and looking fairly nice until late October or even later. Some years I’ve still had roses blooming well into December!

This year my Phlox has been doing well. Often it blooms and then the leaves get covered in powdery mildew and the stalks die down only to regrow slowly hindering further blooms. This year however my Phlox did well and wasn’t affected by powdery mildew very much (my roses on the other hand were!).

Here’s what my Phlox looks like in bloom –

White Phlox 5

Isn’t it lovely? The flower heads are on stalks of about three and a half feet tall and there are usually several blooms on each stalk. I planted the Phlox near my Patio so that I can enjoy the flowers while I sit at my patio table. I also like that they are white flowers … you can still see them fairly well at night so they help highlight the garden.

Do you garden? What’s blooming in your garden right now?

I just love it when my roses are blooming. It certainly doesn’t hurt if half my other plants are in bloom as well – like now!

Here’s a lovely Antique rose that I grow in my garden. It’s a climbing rose named Prince Napoleon. Isn’t it pretty?

This rose has the most gorgeous scent as well. It’s true rose scent. I adore it!

This little plant with it’s pretty blue flowers is blooming as well. I can’t remember the name of the plant though … it’s something like Agathum ..

Cute, aren’t they?

Another rose that I’m always happy to see bloom, which puts out far to few blooms for my liking (I’d love it to bloom constantly!) is my Chicago Peace Hybrid Tea rose …

I love it’s colors – mainly pink, but as it ages it has yellows and oranges in it that combine in complimentary ways. it’s beautiful. No scent though or not much to speak of!

Do you garden? What’s blooming in your yard this week?

Daffodils in the garden

I’m really enjoying my garden this year.

We had a very warm March – for Toronto, and that seemed to put all my plants ahead by about two weeks or more.

It’s amazing how fast everything’s grown, two weeks ago there were a few green leaves and some flowers, but now, most of the garden beds have filled in and there are literally flowers everywhere! Tulips, Hyacinth, Muscari (Grape Hyacinth), glories of the snow and of course, Daffodils!

Here are some photos of the two most prominent types of Daffodils in my garden.

Aren’t they lovely?

The Daffodils have been blooming for about two weeks and some are still coming out, so I expect I’ll have daffodils around for another two weeks or so.

What flowers are blooming in your yard?

From bare patches to green – I love Spring

It’s hard to believe how much a garden can change in just two or three weeks.

At the beginning of April my raised garden beds had plenty of bare patches … oh sure, you could see the bare roses, the Rose of Sharon tree, boxwoods and a few other plants that had withstood the winter cold and snow … but the perennials and bulbs planted deep in the soil had yet to show signs of life.

Now, near the end of April those bare patches are full of green leaves and or flowers like these lovely Glories of the snow …

Here’s another photo of White Glories of the Snow that came up in a very sunny patch of my garden .. as you can see they are just about finished blooming or well, they’re a little scraggly, maybe because the ground seems to be very dry this year despite the occasional rain:

How is your garden or yard doing this Spring … any nice changes?
