Our weather forecast is for cold waves and lower temperatures, some down near, or to, freezing starting Friday, so I went around the yard taking pics of what will probably be our last blooms of the season. I’m sad because the rose buds I took pics of yesterday may not have time to bloom.
I love impatiens, and they really seem to like it on the north side of our house. I’m especially pleased that they like sun, too, so we can plant them in several places around the yard.
My friend, Kay, gave me this black elephant ear plant for my birthday this year. I just love it, and it seems to like it beside the front door. It’s also a bit protected from the wind we get up here on top of our ridge line.
I made my husband come outside to see his clematis. He thought they were finished for the year several weeks ago. He was really happy to see this!
A last bloom on a second clematis plant.
Wave petunias
And more wave petunias. By Friday or so, all of these will probably be gone. We sure enjoyed the nice display.
