I still love the pink Cleome with the Zinnia - both are growing strong on this last day of August.
The Clematis Crimson Star finally bloomed! I planted it earlier this summer to grow up the garage trellis. Unfortunately I killed the one on the other side trying to remove a bastard weed that was growing along with it.
Pink hedge roses are still blooming!
Are your flowers doing the Friday happy dance?? Happy Friday, my garden blogging buddies!
Happy Friday to you!! Glad to see you have some annuals still going strong!!! I love Cleome, except when I accidentally touch the stems.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! My torenia are dancing so happily they're taking over part of a bed from the impatiens, and I'm letting one basil plant do the happy bloom dance for the bees, who swarm all over it. I've got moss roses dancing in front, and still some pink zinnias in the back. The blooms aren't anything to look at, but my asparagus has some, and berries as well. I love your pictures, and your blog!
ReplyDeleteBlissful Friday, all! Gina, when you 'killed' the other clematis by pulling a weed, did you pull the plant out or did it just falter and die? Because it might come back next year. One year I planted three different clematis I'd purchased from a mailorder company, and I thought all three had died--until the next year, when they came back with a bang and a flourish, quite amazingly so. Seven years later, two of them are showstoppers that cause people to stand with their mouths open--and I hastily tell them it's the climate and the mushroom compost, not the gardener's skill...So be of hope--it may return.
ReplyDeleteThings aren't really dancing here because it has rained hard, but out one office window I have Limelight Hydrangea, and that's becoming one of those favourite plants....
Happy Friday!! I am doing a happy dance does that count? We get a 3 day weekend!!!!Some of my flowers are doing really well and others look tired!Your look great still:~)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this is a Happy Friday for me and my flowers. We have a 4 day weekend for the holiday. My petunias still look great and rudbeckia are dancing. The goldenrod is just beginning and is going to be wonderful this fall.
ReplyDeleteHave a good holiday.

OH some variety, particularly mine that are old to my neighborhood have spines on them.. They reseed themselves, but we have to be very careful when touching them.. YOu must have the spineless variety.
