In a vase, Monday October 6, 2025

Published by

The end of the garden florals for while, I’m afraid. The Fall Monkshood is still blooming, Nepeta hangs on with the fall asters but alas we had our first frost yesterday. This is the latest frost I can remember – must look up records but with a Harvest Moon tonight, it is assured there will be another. The average first frost date for this area is between September 11 and September 14.

Time has slipped away this week and I am so late getting this up. Just pictures of my gatherings as I work on the fall chores.

A vibrant bouquet of assorted garden flowers in a glass vase, placed on a red tablecloth in a cozy living space.

A colorful bouquet of mixed flowers including pink and purple cosmos, sweet peas, and baby's breath, arranged in a decorative vase on a shelf.
Close-up of dried thistle-like plants with spiky seed heads against a backdrop of greenery and autumn foliage.
A vase with dried thistle flowers sitting on a table in a garden, surrounded by greenery and colorful flowers in the background.

I hope you all can identify the common garden annuals, perennial seed pods and the invasives in here!

Thank you Cathy.

Now, must go listen to Neil Young’s ‘Harvest Moon.’

    All your arrangements are beautiful Jenny, especially the Cosmos that will no doubt be the first to suffer with your frost. I still have some flowering in a sheltered spot and our nights have turned milder for the time being. Your golden seedhead vase is glorious!

      Thanks Cathy. I am always surprised by how long Cosmos actually hangs in there but of course it doesn’t do much once the temps are minus! I shouldn’t have teasles as they are invasive but I can never resist leaving a few!
