Fall is in the air

Summer is giving way to Fall, it's a great time of year.  As you may have guessed, I love gladiolus...



The Tuberose is one of the most fragrant flowers I've ever come across.  It is a fall bloomer that is worth waiting for.  At times its scent fills the entire yard...


Sunflowers are rather ordinary, but they do have a certain charm...

Hibiscus and Sedum add great color for the Fall...


Impatiens and Coleus are especially vibrant in early Fall...


When the nights are cooler and longer the Rasperries are at their best.  The Fall Gold are especially sweet and juicy...


Crocus flowers are among the very first to announce the Spring.  Colchicum or Fall Crocus pop to announce the Autumn season...


I'm not the only one that loves Gladiolus.  Hummingbirds can't resist them.  I've had them feeding on the bouquets I was still holding.  They are fun to watch...



What a wonderful world and beautiful time of year.
