Summer Marches Out- Garden Bloggers Bloom Day September 2019

On this Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, September 2019 edition, fall is closing in on the Northern Hemisphere.

Trees are starting to turn color where I live in zone 5b in the Southern Tier of New York State.  Summer is marching out, although the weather is still warm.  We've had a chill in the air at times.

One day, perhaps in February, I will look at this post and wonder, did summer every happen?  And will it ever return?

My flower gardens still have plenty to look at.

Starting with several collages.  First, nasturtium.

My cosmos garden amazed me - I have pink ones but no white ones but look what I found yesterday (on the left).

Asters.

Lantana.

I still have two varieties of yellow daylily.  I think I am setting a record for my garden here.

Nothing says fall like asters, and I have a wild aster plant (gift from a nursery specializing in native plants in Ithaca, New York) in my back yard.

Sedum is coloring up nice.
Turtlehead, a cultivated wild plant found in this area, is still blooming.

My two marigolds (yes, the one on the left is white).

Ageratum.

Begonia.
Garlic chives with a bee.

Some more collages. Geraniums...

Zinnias from our community garden (for some reason, we have trouble growing them at our house.)

The first Japanese anemone decided to open this morning, just in time for GBBD.

Last but not least, my indoor flowers - African Violets and moth orchids.

For me, the first frost breaks my heart, because I know the growing season is over.  But one day, I know it will return.  Hopefully we won't get the first frost before October 15. 

Join the garden fairies who live at Carol of May Dream Gardens and gardeners all over the world for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day each 15th of the month.

    Wonderful flowers. I do love the cosmos and the sedum. And the ageratum. And, well, everything, really.

    Oh how lovely,I am fascinated by the shades of Nasturtiums flowers,yes your right the cosmos bloom at the left is unusual. Turtlehead plant blooms seems to be rare and interesting is it drought resistant plant..
    your indoor blooms are exotic.Happy blogger blooms day.

    Wonder what happened to the pink and white cosmo? Mark the bloom, save the seeds and see what it produces next year. It might be a whole new variety! A new unheard of never before seen flower!!! It could be worth a million dollars!

    I get overly excited sometimes when it comes to flowers.

    You still have so many blooms in your late summer garden and I love the asters. That cosmo is very unusual. I agree...save the seeds and maybe you can create a new variety with alternating red and white petals!
