In a Vase, Monday September 29

Published by

We have been fortunate to enjoy a beautifully warm September, the downside being little to no rain. We still have not had a frost so there are many lingering but sparse blooms in the garden. The leaves are also quickly turning as their light hours are depleting but there are also some trees equally confused by the warm temperatures and are stubbornly remaining green.

Today’s vase celebrates the changing season with fall favourites.

Frequently called the Outhouse Plant, yellow Rudbeckia lacienata, Fall Monkhood, Aconitum carmichaelii ‘Arendsii’ , Burning Bush, Euonymus alatus, Stonecrop, now known as Hylotelephium ‘Autumn Joy’ , Scabious Scabiosa atropurpurea ‘Fata Morgana’ , Fall/new England Aster, Symphyotrichum novi-belgii, rose hips and Marigold Tagetes.

    Oh what a lovely autumnal vase – it really seems to sum up the season and somehow gives the impression of leaves beginning to fall. Is that a sunflower in there too. It was good to see a glimpse of your garden too – it’s always interesting to see some of the wider picture of our gardens

      Thanks Cathy – I am very late in responding this week with apologies. Yes the leaves are falling now and that was a Rudbeckia!

    That is pure autumn beauty Jenny! Wonderful colours and your cloth/scarf (is that one you made?) is such a gorgeous backdrop. The rosehips are nice and big despite your dry summer. We have been lucky to get a little rain through September and are hoping for a golden October. Hope you get some rain too and your garden can recover a bit before winter sets in. We might be getting frost in a couple of days too….

      Thank you Cathy. The rosehips are from Blanc Double de Coubert and they always seem to be bigger but generally our fruits this year have been amazing – all those summer storms at the right time I think despite an overall dryness. The bears are happy – lots of Oregon Grapes and Huckleberries to fatten them up for hibernation.
