Heyjude at Cornwall in Colours posted about the “week of flowers” idea from Cathy at Words and Herbs to help keep the winter blahs at bay.
Here are some of summer’s finest from Penticton’s rose garden.
If you would like to join, just link to Words and Herbs with your garden photo. Cheers.
Penticton’s rose garden was still blooming just before we left for our holiday.
Not long after I took these photos, the gardeners did an autumn trim on all the other flowers and then followed up with the roses.
It’s lovely to have such gorgeous flowers blooming so late in the season, but they eventually had to be bedded down for their winter rest.
They will soon be back.
Happy Saturday.
When summer meets autumn
“When summer meets autumn” is a perfect title for this set of late-blooming rose photos from Katarina Bodovski. There are many more very beautiful photos on Katarina’s photo-blog.
All photos taken on June 5, 2023. Another jaunt by car today, once the morning rush hour traffic had cleared. We whispered the words…Benji Go Car…and…
Everything’s Looking Rosie!
Gorgeous rose garden photos from Allan at Picture This. Allan has many gorgeous photos posted on his blog so I hope you stop by for a look.
Penticton’s rose garden is still going strong; it’s not yet showing any signs of autumn despite the fact that it’s now October.
Happy Monday.
We are having a very lovely month with sunny warmth and windless days.
There are many flowers still blooming away and not showing any signs yet of slowing down.
Lots of sunflowers are still fresh and vibrant in their daily sun-follow.
This frilly rose could have easily been a spring bud, but it decided to wait.
Although it’s late for peonies, their heady scent and massive blooms are still lingering in some gardens, depending on their cultivar.
Happy Sunday.

Happy Monday.
These late summer roses remind me of ice cream.
So pretty and summery; they look like my favourite seasonal treat.
Happy Sunday.,
Have a good day.
