Our Sedum is blooming and it’s developed lovely fall colors.
We have some in the back garden that has orangish colored blooms, but I think I like the one in the front garden the best as it has deep rose or magenta colored blooms.
Last week I mentioned on my gardening blog that the sedums are a lot shorter this year than they usually are. I think our slightly cooler than normal summer, plus all of the rain must have stunted their growth.
My Monkshood has been blooming for about two weeks now.
I have one that blooms in June (the Bi-Color), but the Azure Monkshood blooms only in the Fall. I love their beautiful bloom blooms and wish I had more of them to fill the garden at this time of year. They are so delicate and pretty.

Funny how you rarely ever see an owl these days … yet these two sure found each other. Aren’t they cute? They look like true love birds, don’t they?
Last Monday my husband and I took our dog for a walk through one of Toronto’s large city parks and I came across some lovely wild flowers and I thought you might be interested in seeing them this Green Thumb Sunday.
I have no idea what kind of flower or rather flowers seed head this is.
It’s lovely though. If you click on the picture you’ll be able to see a larger version of this picture on Flickr …
The whole seed head is composed of tiny tiny components.
Someone on my photoblog, Breath of Life Photography, stated that it looked a bit like groups of tiny spiders. It’s not, but if you take a close look it does kind of look like that.
This on the other hand is a weed that’s gone to seed ..
The seed head spikes sit above a cluster of roundish green leaves. I have these growing in my lawn but they never get close to maturity like this one has. Again, I don’t know the name of this plant / weed, but it’s interesting even if it’s extremely common and wants to take over my grass!

Rocky the Bulldog got up early this morning and put on his best tie. He’s ready for his big job interview.
Can you guess what kind of job Rocky is trying to get? 😉
