I ought to be sorting through the 2 weeks of mail & school papers on my desk. Instead -- or at least first -- I thought I'd put up some of the (very few) garden photos I've taken lately.
August is the height of the Garden Doldrums. May/June is a blooming festival. Lots of things that languished in the July/August heat & humidity (& add to that this year's lack of rainfall) are starting to perk back up. A few are just hitting their peak now. Yet others (the hardy mums, the 'Autumn Bride' heuchera, the blue woods aster, the monkshood) are still in progress -- buds at this point, with the promise of becoming the season's last hurrah in October & November.
These are the recent & current bloomers -- few, & much appreciated:
