September Blooms

Autumn is nearly here though it still feels like summer. We could actually use a good rain, but I know that will come soon enough. I've been remiss in watering, but some of my flowers are still happily blooming.  My morning glories have always bloomed late in the season, and are still in their prime.  I was delighted to see some new shades this year from my saved seeds. After months of waiting I am happy to report my tomatoes finally ready!   Also, we had a brand new bird visit our patio, the Eurasian Collared Dove. They are new to my neighbourhood, and have been busy spreading across North America. I'm joining up with Glenda at Tootsie Time for Fertilizer Friday/Flaunt Your Flowers this week. What is blooming in September in your neck of the woods?

  1. Beautiful flowers. I did some research when these Doves started showing up in our yard a few years ago. I forget there native land, they are in our region because people purchased them as pets and then let them go. I am so glad they adapted well enough to populate. we have two that visit us every year.

  2. Beautiful morning glories and other things. Seeing the squirrel and Stellars Jay on the ground in almost kissing distance was cool. We just started getting Stellars Jays in addition to the Scrub Jays and I love them.

  3. Your morning glories positively glow! Loved seeing them. I also like the brachycome (?spell) and the cosmos with the raindrops.

  7. Thanks for all your comments. The brachycome (swan river daisy) didn't grow very well for me this year, only got a couple blooms.
