It’s unfortunately come to that time of year where there aren’t many blooms about, but I did find a few for today’s flower post.
These dianthus or sweet william flowers are still sweetly and brightly blooming among the fallen leaves. The indomitable hydrangeas are also continuing to bloom. It’s so lovely, especially at this time of year, to unexpectedly come upon them in all their glory. A single rhododendron bush in one of the public gardens is continuing to bloom in a couple of places on the right side of the bush. The rest of the buds are all tightly closed, so only a little seasonal confusion for this rhodie! And a lovely summer memory: a pond lily from mid-August.
These will probably be my last flower finds for this year, so for the foreseeable future I’ll probably be posting pictures from the warmer months or whatever else I can find to brighten our Fridays.
Amazing how long they give their burst of colour. But, not it is their time to sleep and regain their energy for the next season. Happy Friday Lynette. Allan
Thanks, Allan. I agree! We’re heading to December; it’s time to pack it in and regain their energy. I’ve been surprised at how many flowers are still around. Cheers.
I’m surprised and impressed you were able to still find some blossoms lurking around. But I guess all good things must come to an end. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you very much, Linda. I was also surprised at how many flowers are stubbornly hanging on. We’re heading into December so it’s time for them to go to sleep, though. They remind me of small children who want to stay up … 😊
The hydrangeas are tough little flowers! 😊

You’re welcome, Anneli. I think that next week’s post might be of summer flowers. It’s pretty grey right now and we need to see a bit of colour. 🌼
