Flowers for Saturday

I'm joining Ewa for Flowers on Saturday.
This is my fall blossom on my delphinium. When the early summer plants go to seed, I leave them in the garden so they'll drop and have new plants come up. When that happens, I am doing a happy dance!
After our first fall frost we'll be having Indian Summer. Can't wait for the flies to die off!! Maybe a few grasshoppers will also die. I still have plenty of both. :-(

The average first frost date in Denver is Oct. 7, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen yet. ♥♫

Today's Flowers - #112!

It's #112 for Today's Flowers! That's more than two years of fun for everyone so once again, I owe a big thank you to the team that makes this possible!
I was out yesterday afternoon avoiding work in the house and noticed my tansy was showing a second set of flowers. This plant is one that is considered a weed here in Colorado and can't be purchased at a garden center. The flowers can be dried and used in fall crafts.
The alysum smells so sweet and looks better now that it has cooled off a bit. My mom has some double petunias so I decided to try one this year. Her's always look so much better, but then I remembered that she plants three or four pots in one planter!
The Autumn Joy continues to turn darker.
Both pictures were taken Saturday afternoon, just at different ends of the "hedge" on the side of the garage.
Daytime temperatures will reach the mid 80's this week, so I'm thinking it may be another week or two until Indian Summer arrives.

Autumn Double Delight

There's a new party today so I'm joining Ewa from Ireland for the first Flowers on Saturday.
This pink double petunia is looking happy now that the days are cooling off to 80 degrees. Nothing was doing well when it was above 90. Fall is coming and a freeze will take the delicate flowers, but some petunias can hang on until November.

Thanks to Ewa for the new party! ♥♫
