I can’t believe it’s actually December 16th already! I meant to post my December blooms yesterday for Garden Blogger’s Bloom day, then totally zoned out that it could be the 15th already. Christmas is a little over a week away! I still have a couple gifts to buy, looks like I’ll be shopping this weekend.
I do have a couple plants in my house blooming this month, not many. There’s nothing blooming outside any more. We’ve had some freezing cold days in the last couple weeks, with temperatures in the single digits (brrr!).

We’ve had a mild fall this year, so I can actually say even in my northern garden I still have a few outdoor blooms holding out from the frosts that we’ve had so far.
I still have a few mum blooms peaking out from the leaves, and some green leaves here and there.

There are also just a few Black-Eyed-Susans blooms growing right up against the house. I think it stays a little warmer there, and it’s sheltered by the large eves and the bricks on the house keep things a little warmer there until the weather really gets cold.

I’ve also got …read more

September in my garden is always a beautiful time. I don’t have the spectacular blooms I have during some of the summer months, but some of my favorite flowers are still blooming, and I love taking crisp morning strolls through the gardens. The air is so refreshing, and the view is still spectacular.
Here’s what’s blooming in my September garden.
I still have some mini roses climbing up the side of the house.

These morning glories are growing in the neighbor’s corn field. I’m sure he doesn’t appreciate them near as much as I do. They’re blooming in four different colors, …read more

I can’t believe we’re halfway through July already! Summer just seems like it is flying by, but then it always does. I have a ton of blooms to share with you this month. I think July is my favorite month in the garden, because it seems like everything is in bloom.
Here’s what’s blooming in my garden this month:
The lilies are going crazy putting on a dazzling hillside show for anyone who stops by.

I love Garden Blogger’s Bloom Day during the summer. It inspires me to get out there and capture images of the flowers growing in my garden. I still look back on last years garden images. It’s a great way to remember gardens past.
This month I have one lingering iris still blooming, it’s one of my favorites, and it always blooms a little later than the rest. It likes to keep me in suspense on whether it’s going to bloom or not. Just when I’ve given up hope, there it is! It’s a beautiful ruffled purple and white blooming iris.

I can’t believe it’s already mid April! The end of March and first few days of April were warm and sunny for the most part here, but the last week has been rainy and cooler most days.
