Would you like to take a little garden tour with me?
The gardening season is winding down here and I am so far behind in
sharing photos of what was blooming when.

-----but this post is full of the garden in August.
above and below is an un-named rose in my garden
the clematis Josephine
Bombshell and Limelight hydrangeas
crab apples in foreground and Bombshell hydrangea in pot in background
drifts of echinacea in a bed at the back of our property
White Swan echinacea
double oriental lily

pots and planters around the garden
Comtesse de Bouchaud clematis
Gardenview Scarlett monarda and Comtesse de Bouchaud
a struggling clematis on the gazebo----it's pretty, but a skinny little thing.
That's what happens in too much shade. I could move it, but I kind of like
it's sparse look here.

Thank you so much for the lovely tour. That un-named rose is just beautiful.
I think Kittie approves of its surroundings.
Surely though now that it is September some of your beautiful blooms have waned a bit?

I am more then thrilled to join you and Edsel in the garden. I also love that unnamed rose, oh so pretty! Limelight is on my list for next year!! My flowers are fading as Fall is in the air. I do have chrysanthemums that are full of buds. There is hope for more color. Enjoy this last of the summer and welcome the color of Fall. Too my favorite sista, June!!
You have the most beautiful garden, June! I want to come over and have tea, set and relax and smell all the lovely flowers!

I'm in love with the hydrangea and echinacea. I can't even imagine being surrounded by so many pretty flowers. Everything looks so incredibly beautiful. Sigh...
Thank you for the tour of your beautiful gardens...so lovely and I'm sure you enjoy every minute of it:-)

Oh-June! I am just getting back from a busy, hectic summer break.
My heart beats just a bit faster when I open it and see pictures of your garden. That unnamed rose is beautiful-whatever it is. It looks like a real old-fashioned rose. My gramma had a huge bush that grew up on the northwest side of her house and it had glorious blooms like that with an almost spicy scent. It had a LOT of thorns...as my hands can still attest to, I bet.
Your gardens are just lovely-I bet you just look around sometime and smile to see it all laid out before you.
Hope you had a good day and hugs for your angel-boy Landon. xo Diana
ps. Edsel looks like the "bluies" that same gramma always had. Their coats felt like velvet. Sissy has a cat that reminds me of Edsel, too. When you get tired of that darn old cat- why don't you let me know? I'll pick him up. pps. I have made the same offer to Sissy, too, and she has basically ignored me!;>)
Such a magnificent garden!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous June ….. I just LOVE your garden….. every last bit of it. I only put my Limelight hydrangea in this year and it's been glorious and, it's still going strong. I have to say though, I have started to cut things down now and am gradually putting the garden to bed for the Winter. Thanks for all of your beautiful photographs of your garden this year …. you are an inspiration June. XXXX
You have a beautiful garden, June! I love that you have both shade and sun here. At our old house, we had quite a bit of sun, but some trees were maturing and were helping to bring us some shady spots just before we moved. It only took 21 years!
June,
Your gardens speak of your hearts tenderness and nurturing. I always feel contentment and peace with each of your postings. I thank you for all the summers glorious flowers you have shared.
Vera
Oh June you said a tour through your garden, I am sure you were mistaken....did you not mean to say a tour through your personal private park?
It's divine, richly divine....I adore the little pieces of salvage that decorate your garden beds, rusty crusty old trellises that lend a helping hand to the climbers, post of charm, old vintage antique wood stove acting as a potting bench and of course Edsel the cat. I wouldn't be much of a garden with out a grey cat to roam it.
I so would love to sit in your garden a chat about nothing's, look through our inspiring magazines while taking in all it offers :)
What a beautiful PARK you have, ooop's s I mean what a beautiful GARDEN you have. :)
Till next posting.
Xx

Hi June,
It is all so delightful! Always enjoy a tour around your garden and love your photography too.
Enjoy these last days of summer.
Carolyn
Everything everyone said above :D I adore your gardens and feel so privileged to see them, thank you for loving it, taking such artistic photos and posting for us.
What a great tour of your gorgeous garden. So many pretty flowers. The perfect spot for an afternoon tea. My favorite was seeing your pretty kittie taking a nap.
Wishing you a wonderful week.
Janet
So beautiful June!... your gardens are still flourishing, while mine has pretty much put on her final show... we are in the 70's now and I am loving it!... lots of colors changing for the Season as well... your white echinacea is stunning (love the bee on one too!)... and that rose... oooooh... have your dried any of those?... they remind me of my David Austin Princess Anne... and of course Edsel makes me smile!... much love, xoxo Julie Marie
Hello June
Your garden is still as gorgeous as ever.... those roses are breathtaking!
I can imagine Edsel spends many hours sunning himself among the pretty flowers.
Enjoy the last weeks of summer in the garden.
Hugs,
Wanda
Love the name Edsel!! Your garden, as always, is enchanting ~ thanks so much for the tour!
Did you make it to the big estate sale out your way this last weekend? it looked like it was going to be a good one!
Hugs ~
Oh my gosh what a beautiful walk through your garden. Love that first rose. The color is fabulous. That photo with the clematis on the railing with that tree in the background. ---- G o r g e o u s !!!!
This was a lovely tour. And Edsel looks like he is a gardenlover too. I wish both you and Edsel a happy day in your beautiful garden.
Marit
What a joy and pleasure to take a walk through your garden. Everything looks so pretty. That rose is indeed a treasure, you should try taking some cuttings and then pick out a wonderful name for it...maybe Angels Delight.
Love the photo of Edsel, he looks very content.
IYou have a wonderful garden and a lot of flowers , is truly spectacular! Thanks for sharing.
Have a nice day, hugs
Dear June!
Your garden is such a paradis!!!!!
I am dreaming for such a long time to have a bigger garden ( not so big like yours that' s impossible here)
and now we have this chance.
And I hope he will get a little dreamy like your garden.
Edsel is soooo cute!
I hope you are well and your family also dear June!
Happy September!
With love,
Geli
Beautiful photos! I usually keep my garden looking pretty but this year everything has not done well with the heat. The grass is totally dead as I gave up on it about a month ago. Missing my green grass!
Your garden is exquisite as always June. Everything is just so beautiful. I bet you are sad that summer is winding down. I know I am. Thanks for visiting my blog today! Hugs! xo
Hello Dear June,
I am so glad to be here at last going on this wonderful tour with you. I have missed my visits here but hopefully now I am back to blogging again!
I absolutely love your style of gardening, your beautiful rambling "mess" - looks so much like ours here.
Love your gorgeous roses, clematis, phlox, hydrangeas and those friendly bergamot flowers. I have not seen them in any other gardens but ours.
And your sea of Echinaceas including those special white ones look so
stunning!
I wish I was Edsel for a while laying on a bench taking in all the amazing fragrances.
Your devoted hours spent so lovingly here have truly paid off. I know only too well the work that goes on to achieve all of this absolute beauty. You have really excelled yourselves!
You live in a Gardener's Paradise!!!
Sending much love across the miles.
Suzy
Your garden looks so lovely. I have neglected mine this year to redo our kitchen, but next year I will be taking care of it more.
Oh Sweet June, what a wonderful healing garden you have shared. Such a nice tour first thing this morning. Such amazing photos.
The mums are exploding here in Northern Alabama, they are such performers. We have had a mild summer compared to all that I have seen since we moved here. The wild jasmine has bloomed, and it was spectacular climbing over the shed.
Thank you for a lovely visit to your bit of Heaven. I hope all is well with you and your family. By the way, how are your horses?
Blessings in your day!
♥♥♥
Marcie
I LOVE EDSEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June, even my garden is looking great at this time of slowing down....today will be our first cooler day of September, and I love this time of year. However, I'm back at school trying to stay abreast with my students' needs and teaching, and now thoughts of outdoor play have to be put away. Your garden however, helps me to linger just a little while longer.
Have a lovely day sweet June! Anita
This garden doesn't exist June! It's paradise on earth!What a lovely garden tour was that....And your old vintage items and pots give it a unique charme!It's the perfect place to relax and feel happy. Wish you can enjoy endless moments of joy there!
Love, Olympia
Thanks for your garden tour, your garden is wonderful. Our garden is not big (you can see some pictures in one of my latest posts), but I like it so much to work in it and to enjoy the wonderful flowers.
Warm wishes, Ingrid
thanks for the sweet tour, june:) your blooms are beautiful! and edsel-love his name-is my favorite pic:) have a great day!
I feel like I have just walked in your garden. Love the pictures of the green grass and trees. You even captured a sweet bee working the White Swan! Thanks for the stroll thru.
So beautiful June. Your garden is truly a sanctuary. I see your kitty agrees. Perfect place for a sweet nap.
Kris
Dear June,
your garden is like a little wonderful park, Filled with all kind of beautiful plants and busches,.
The Echinacea, in pink and white are beautiful,and that rose ,just stunning- here autumn also knocks the door , but today was a beautiful weather, and I just had a walk between the rain showers...everything smelled so lovely !
Hope you are all well, dear,
Hugs,Dorthe
How beautiful it all is, June! Each flower, each plant stars in its own way - the mark of a really lovely garden.
What do you do in fall to ready your beds for next year? Do you top dress with something special?
Your gardens are beautiful...and Edsel has the best seat...
Hi June. Oh, I just know if I could sit 2 minutes in your garden I would be the happiest I've ever been. It is all so beautiful and I have been enjoying all your posts but, for some reason, it wouldn't allow me to comment, until today. Hope it is right now because I have to tell you how beautiful it all is..Happy Wednesday..Judy
Beautiful garden with beautiful plants and a lovely cat!
Your garden is breathtaking!!! I never tire of touring it. What you call a "mess" is so beautiful to me! It's such a wonderful slice of heaven here on earth!!

June,
I love the colour and variety that you have woven throughout the garden.
The skinny little clematis is pretty and obviously happy in the spot by the look of her blooms.
Anytime you want to share the garden is good with me - so tranquil.
Hugs
Katherine
June, I was so pleased to see your name in my email box this morning. Oh how lovely your garden is! I loved the first rose. It's especially gorgeous, my favourite! Blooming lovely.
It was great to be able to get to the wedding, the rain held off and it was a bit chilly but everyone was warmed by the love in the air!
Hugs my dear friend I wish I was nearer.
Jane x
Hello June, Your gardens are just devine, I love the colour of the clematis on the porch, so pretty.
It nice to see wide views of your garden to, and it was lovely of you to stop by my blog and thank you for your kind words for my dad, sorry to hear your mum is not well, do hope she is feeling better soon.
Taniaxxx
Your garden is so pretty, June. This morning mine looked like a bomb went off in the backyard - wet winter snow. But yours is still pretty so I can enjoy that. Diane
Wish I was joining you & Edsel in your absolutely dreamy garden!
Have a wonderful weekend xo
You have such a beautiful garden June. All your pictures sparkle with sunshine and flowers.
Your photos are so clear....better than a magazine. I have always admired your gardens and home life. You are surrounded by all the simple beauties of life. It is so much work to cultivate such beauty. Gardens like yours just don't happen. And most people that have such grand gardens as yours have gardeners. Beautiful work dear friend. You are an amazing gardener. xxo
Hi Jane,
Love your garden, m'dear. I especially like the limelight hydrangeas, the double lilies, that sweet green stove and Edsel! You have created such a beautiful world.
Linda at Beautiful Ideas
Oh my, what a beautiful garden with so many gorgeous flowers in bloom. I love coneflowers! Have a nice weekend.
Hi June, your garden is so very beautiful. A truly relaxing place. Love all the different flowers and colors.
I also have to thank you for your sweet words on my blog.
Hugs from here
Oh I'm so glad I finally got a chance to visit over here! Your garden is just thriving beautifully. Your shots are wonderful as usual. The only thing better would be to stroll through in person. That would be so lovely. Your garden surely brings you tremendous joy. I'm so glad you share it with us!
So very beautiful June. Your flowers all look so fresh, especially for this time of year. I can only imagine how much time you must spend in the garden tending to them.
Love your elderberry bush. Do you make elderberry pie? My Mom makes the best. A favorite of all my sisters.
Cindy
Of course the unnamed Rose is my favorite! I dont think I will forget the name BOMBSHELL... it really does introduce the explosion of delight that flower gives!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the tour, June. Your photos make me happy. I love your passion and appreciation for the beauty you create. xo ~ Leslie
When I was having at look at some older blog posts, I realised I missed this beautiful post of your garden completely. Glad I noticed in the end!
Your garden still looks enchanting June. All those colours! A joy to look at!
Wishing you a happy weekend!

Oh what fun it would be to go for a romp in your lovely garden with Edsel.
The great trees to climb, bushes to hide in, and flowers to sniff!
Ahhh, ... pure joy! Lovely.
Big hugs,
Patti
Dear June,
Thank you for taking us on a tour of your wonderful garden. It is just like a park dear friend and must be such a lot of work caring and tending for it. Edsel is a sweetie and looks very relaxed.
Happy weekend
hugs
Carolyn
Mornin' June, I believe you have one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever laid my eyes on~~~I love that antique stove on your porch?? You can "see" everything in your garden..not overdone...and I love that. Blessings~~~have a beautiful weekend in the Lord~~~Roxie
Hi June, here I am days and days late. I have been away taking care of my husband. Your garden is the prettiest one I have ever laid eyes on. I do love clematis. I only recently started a few in my garden. I know how much joy those blooms bring to you. May fall bring you equal amounts of joy, Olive
What a wonderful garden tour you took us on, June! so many beautiful things to see. I like it when the roses seem to perk back up this time of year, don't you? Bringing them inside for one last bit of summer to savor.
Thank you for sharing your labor of love with the rest of us, dear June.
Debbie
xxoo
You really make my day June! I got your lovely and kind comment and suddenly my day felt so much better...thank you!
Beautiful pictures on your blog from a beautiful garden...
Take care!
Love Titti
As always, I enjoyed my stroll through your gorgeous gardens!
Blessings,
Kim
I am in ahhhhhh of your garden. (A little jealous, too!) Thank you for sharing the beauty.
I'm going to save each of your garden photo June, to take inspirations! It's so strange to me: even red color (which I don't use ne-ver) is marvelous in your spaces!! =)
Hugs darling!
Silvia
Thank you for a breathtaking garden tour!!! I loved all the clematis that you showed especially that one that was on the patio! I would love to see all the glory in real life!!! Thank you so much for sharing your garden with us. Your lovely Josephine clematis looks a lot like Clematis viticella 'Purpurea Plena Elegans'. All the best from Mari
