With summer's end, we spent some time harvesting more flowers from the garden... even though the dahlias, salvia, roses and wildflowers continue blooming.
This morning's buds from the wildflower garden.
As is tradition here at the Casa du Borghese....Lana Del Ray....
Dahlias come into their own in this season! Unfortunately, ours have done nothing - not a single flower this year, nor last. We are tempted to give them away, to be honest.
ReplyDeleteAre zinnias really "wild flowers" in Pennsylvania? Gosh. Jx
PS That is the only Lana Del Ray song (and only in that mix) I really like...
No Jon, Zinnias are flowers here, but I added tons of seeds into the wildflower garden. You see many of them in wildflower gardens for some reason. And our dahlias require lots of sun most of the day. The first year they did nothing...but the second year they all did well. I'd get more, but they really take over when they get going, and they start spreading.....
DeleteAh, I always think of you and Lana on the last day of summer! Traditions are swell. And so are your stems.
ReplyDeleteDes fleurs incroyables !
ReplyDeleteIls apportent sans aucun doute la joie de vivre à la Casa du Borghese.
Maîtresse, vous avez un talent pour le jardinage :)
Lana del Rey, chanteuse exceptionnel d'émotions.
Il y a un bel hommage au film Humoresque de 1947 avec Joan Crawford et John Garfield utilisant sa chanson Ultraviolence sur YouTube.
-Beau Mec à Deauville
Merci mon ami. J'adore Lana Del Rey et sa musique, tu as raison... tant d'émotion.
DeleteJe vais devoir chercher cet hommage.
Some fine examples of dahlia!!!! Your ox blood color is stunning!!!!! I have no luck with them here. Excellent song too to end the season.
ReplyDeleteLove the bud vase buds...and those dahlias are stunning.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention Lana's song....after 13 years is still gold.
The colors are stunning; screaming fall!
ReplyDeleteIt might be the last day of summer, but at least it's not the first day of winter! Your yellow and pink dahlias are gorgeous, dahling!
ReplyDeleteThe ox blood is my favorite. I love a moody color.
DeleteLovely dahlias!
