A grasshopper's call-
Today it is summer
Tomorrow is fall!*
I love these deep purple asters-perennials-which add such a bright note to their fading counterparts at this time of the year. Of course they've only just begun...
Hydrangea-stalwart staple of a large garden:
Hydrangea -from a different bush. Many of the hydrangea clusters have faded and dried. However, with the cooler weather there are always enough beauties which come to the fore and make a spectacular bouquet around Thanksgiving. What a great giving plant this is, flowering by the end of June, developing throughout the summer then offering up gorgeous dried clusters of flowers for arrangements which can last forever it seems.

Gardens are lovely, aren't they?
In the past i have had a tendency to forget about asters. Lately though i have come to appreciate them as sturdy understated beauty. Yours look magnificent!
