September Bloom Day at C&L

Common Buckeye with Verbena bonariensis

It's September 15 and you know what that means! Garden bloggers all over the blogasphere are celebrating Bloom Day. You can see more gardens then you can imagine in one day if you stop by Carol's blog, May Dreams Gardens to take the linky magic carpet ride.

NOID Salvia

Here's mine~The order does not reflect favoritism! Almost everything that grows here does double duty~It must look good for at least part of the year and feed pollinators, birds and other critters.

Bat Faced cuphea "Little Mice"

Vernonia gigantea

Volunteer Sweet Autumn Clematis

It does look nice, but is invasive

Japanese anemone

Plectranthus "Mona Lavender"

Lantana with friend

Chive digging bumble

Blackberry Lily by any other name is still beautiful
This one in yellow

A long look at the front garden that includes some of the Susan's border, The Waiting Bench and native wildflower woodland. The garden looks rag tag after a summer of extremes and gardener absence~But, gardens can be very forgiving and losses mean opportunities. Right now, we are waiting on the asters, goldenrod and other fall bloomers to light up the garden. We would also like cooler weather! Who do I talk to about that?

Thanks for stopping by....Have fun out there.
