Once again I have to apology for the lack of postings to you dear readers and blogging friends, I hope you'll forgive me again! My sister has finally moved into her new house and needed me a lot as a babysitter for my niece and nephew in the moving process as well as a moving helper, also I had a lot of work in the office and tried to use every spare moment I could find to create. I have further had a very sad case of death in my family lately, my mums dear sister, my fave auntie died after she broke her leg and had to have 2 surgeries which was to much for her, so I also needed some time to spend with my mum and my close family and of course time to grieve for her.
I know that I owe you all a big garden update having not posted for so long, so here are my fave garden pictures of the last 4 weeks:
The red Admiral (Vanessa atlanta) seem to love my garden very much this season and I love to take pictures of him.
Above is a combination of Pelargonium with vanilla scenting Heliotrop on one of my patio iron tables which still looks and scents very well.
Some beautiful roses are still blooming like the English rose "Wenlock":
My fave plant in my fall garden is the redish "Sedum spectabile", blooming together with the purple Verbena bonariensis and a pink Chrysanthemum which is not yet blooming:
And the bumblebee enjoys some late blooms of the "Buddleja davidii" :
If again I should not get around to post for a longer period for whatever reason it may be and you are interested in my latest pictures and crafts you can always have a look in my flickr pictures (just click on the little flickr mosaic that you see in my side bar here to get there) because I upload pictures there quite regularly.
Some roses are still blooming in my little rose border too.
Like the gorgeous "Augusta Luise" See close up they look much better and scents so good:
Another favorite in my fall garden is the Snapdragon which literally glows in the sun:
Oh and not to forget my darling Eden rose 85 (also called "Pierre de Ronsard" in some countries) which blooms and blooms:
Another shot of the Sedum border:
The honey bees loves the Sedum too!
And the bumblebee enjoys some late blooms of the "Buddleja davidii" :
The Admiral is sipping sweet nectar from the "Verbena bonariensis" also called "Verbena Argentina":
I bought this enchanting Penstemon last month and hope to get it through the winter this year it has a very delicious purple color:
Lastly a picture of my sweet grape vine:
If again I should not get around to post for a longer period for whatever reason it may be and you are interested in my latest pictures and crafts you can always have a look in my flickr pictures (just click on the little flickr mosaic that you see in my side bar here to get there) because I upload pictures there quite regularly.
I have started to create for Christmas now seeing that we don't celebrate Halloween here in Germany and I think you can never start early enough.
Have a fabulous new week everyone and hopefully you can enjoy some golden fall days too!
