Garden Bloggers Bloom Day September 15 2025

September 15 already...it's time for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day.

It's been dry in my zone 6a garden in the Southern Tier, and my plants look just a bit - tired?  Perhaps they feel the decreasing daylight, despite the warm temperatures, and know that their time is almost up. But besides that, I have an issue with one of my knees, and there has been not too much weeding done this year.

Also, either squirrels or chipmunks have been digging in my flowerpots, Yes, I know they have the instinct to bury nuts for the winter, but do they have to try to kill my plants, too?  Sigh. 

But I still have plenty of flowers to show you.  First, my front bed.

My sedum is coloring up nicely.
 

Garlic chives are thriving among the weeds.

 My two tall phlox is petering out, but I have a few blooms left to show you.  First, dark pink.

Light pink. 

Yellow lantana.

The sweet peas are out of control this year, spreading everywhere and are still flowering sporadically.  I didn't have the time to take care of their pea pods so I'm sure they will reseed profusely. Next year I may have a lot of pulling to do. 

In the back yard, red fuchsia. 
 

Zig-zag goldenrod. (I should point out here that all of my wildflowers were procured from wildflower nurseries or growers.)

Pink turtlehead.  

Coral bells.

Finally, there is one flower missing, my Japanese Anemone.  None of the flowers have opened yet, alas.

But if you want to see more flowers, how about visiting the owner of this meme, Carol at May Dreams Gardens , to see her flowers and other gardening blogs from all over the world?
