| The spring crocus says "winter is over." The Fall Crocus says "get ready." |
 |
| The Mimosa has been blooming all summer. The seed pods say its time for a rest |
 |
 |
| This is what cross pollination can do |
 |
| Raspberry jam is a fall and every other season favorite |
 |
| Rainbow days are always welcome |
 |
| Late August and it's time to start getting ready for next year's garden |
 |
| Some new Iris starts. They are kind of small so I'm not sure if I will see blooms next year |
 |
| The Bird of Paradise is another sign of fall in my yard |
 |
| The Asters came back on their own |
 |
| I put my Amaryllis in the garden to grow the bulbs and sometimes get one or two that bloom a second time |
 |
| The harvest makes the effort worthwile |
 |
| Morning is the best time to see the Mexican Petunias. By late afternoon the blossoms fall and make room for new blooms the next day |
 |
| I love the harvest |
 |

 |
| About a year and a half ago I saved some Cyclamen seeds just for the fun of it. It really is fun to see them bloom |
 |
| This year the crocus will be bloomed and gone before their normal bloom time |
 |
| Like everything else, the Crown Imperials are about three weeks early |
