Garden Bloggers Bloom Day September 2011
 |
| Sedum Brilliant and Liriope in Bloom |
 |
| Dwarf Fountain Grass, Sedum, Blue Star Juniper and Heuchera |
The grasses are developing their wispy plumes and the Sedum Brilliant is extremely vibrant this year. Here is a combination of Hameln fountain grass, Sedum Brilliant, Blue Star Juniper and heuchera (coral bells). The coral bells thrive in the shadow of the grasses and are complemented by the blue of the juniper and pink of the sedum.
 |
| Sedum, Heuchera and Grasses Here is a close up of the sedum and heuchera combination. I am really enjoying it this year. |
 |
| Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar, Rosy Glow Barberry, Gold Mop Cypress and Buddlea Lo & Behold |
One of my newer Weeping Blue Atlas Cedars is finally sending out a leader branch that cascades gracefully over the gold mop cypress and dwarf butterfly bush. It has been a good growing season and this piece is turning into a prize specimen. I look forward to even more to enjoy as this tree matures. It is amazing how each one is so different.
 |
| Double Pink Knock Out Rose I cannot get enough of my new Knock Out Roses. They have been blooming all summer. Its a toss up between the red and the pink but I think pink may be my favorite! |
 |
| More Sedum Brilliant in Bloom with Moss Rock Accent Cant get enough of the sedum this year...so bright!!! |
 |
| Heuchera Citronelle Heuchera Citronelle is the newest member to my garden added just this past September. Its vibrant lime-green glow adds eye-catching color to the shadier areas of the landscape. |
 |
| Golden Hinkoi Cypress and Boxwood Here is a more formal section of my gardens that I just noticed while taking pictures looks especially nice in fall. I think Ill have to look some more! |
 |
| Perennial Garden: Grasses, Salvia, Lamb Ear, Lilies and Astilbe |
The perennial garden takes on a new look in September. Soon the colors will be turning to bright oranges and yellows.
 |
| Dwarf Fountain Grass Hameln Plumes The fountain grasses developed their plumes earlier this year so there has been a little more time to enjoy their interest in the garden. |
 |
| Sedum Brilliant Flower Up Close |
The butterflies and bumble bees just love the sedum at this time of year.
 |
| Heuchera Caramel Heuchera Caramel is displaying its new growth for fall. |
 |
| Liriope in Bloom (September) |
Liriope is at its prime at the end of August and into September displaying its bright grape-like purple blooms.
 |
| Sedum Brilliant I know...more sedum...but the garden fairies from "May Dreams Gardens" insisted!!! |
 |
| Double Red Knock Out Rose Red or pink....which one is the favorite??? |
 |
| Buddlea in Flower Dwarf Buddlea Lo & Behold has really proven to be one of my favorite flowering shrubs in the garden. It has flowered all throughout the summer and is still full of vibrant purple blooms going into fall. |
 |
| Weeping Pussy Willow Tree The Weeping Pussy Willow always presents itself to be so graceful. Its lovely branches cascade almost to the ground and its fullness supplies a home for many families of nesting birds throughout the summer. We have enjoyed watching the mother birds feeding their young. Its funny but we call this particular tree "prime real estate" for our feathered friends! |
 |
| Double... Double Red Knock Out Rose! This is a time of transition in the northeastern garden...a time of change and beauty. As the seasons change I look forward to all the beauty nature has to offer. |
Thank you for stopping by and please also visit our hostess Carol at May Dreams Gardens for more September blooms from gardeners around the world and join all of us in celebrating our true passion and love of gardening.
"A garden is a thing of beauty that constantly changes and can be enjoyed forever..." Happy Gardening! Happy GGBD!
