views around the garden in August

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

the same lily after a little fading in the sun

pots and planters around the garden

Comtesse de Bouchaud clematis

the same rose as before---I just love it so much I had to post another photo of it :-)))

a lovely jumbled mess!

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.
