Fall Gardens



Flowers from Arbor House Lane Gardens


I just love the colors in this flower arrangement.


This time of year I try to bring in as many of the blooms as I can before frost.


I love how the roses have this last bloom time in early fall.


This is what we see out the kitchen window. 
I just love the colors of the roses and hydrangeas.


You may remember that I planted a new flower bed this past Spring.
We had and intruder!
All summer a HUGE pumpkin vine grew, it almost took over the whole flower bed


This is some of the plants from the Spring garden I planted. 
They are happy plants and I should be rewarded next year with lots of flowers.


This is a new flower garden Mr. M. and I planted last weekend.

We moved two snowball bushes from another flower bed where they were starting to outgrow their home.
I filled in with some bushes and plants left from the Spring flower bed.
Next year the bushes will be full of white snowballs.


White Clematis on the Arbor.


Fall clematis is one of my favorite flowers. 
They grow very tall, bloom in late summer to early fall and have tiny white flowers.
The best part is that they smell amazing.
This clematis is covering my wild rose bush.


This white Rose of Sharon blooms and re-blooms throughout August and September.
A great thing about this bush is that it produces LOTS of babies.
I will transplant a few babies to make a beautiful hedge row next year.
I am always thinking where my next flower bed will be.

Speaking of planting, there is a car load of mums that need my attention. 
I have lots of work to get ready for my fall decorating.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are all having a wonderful week.

  1. oooo....I gots to get me a white rose of sharon..it's on my list. I have several pink ones, but I'm a white flower fanatic. That's nice that you still have roses blooming. Mine have been overshadowed by my butterfly bush, which I'm going to move SOON.

  6. Your fall garden is lush and so stunning. I love the arrangements of hydrangeas and roses brought in from the garden and put in your ironstone pitcher. Beautiful.
    My garden is really done and I am putting it to bed. Seems like your garden is still going strong and producing beauty!
    What a lovely stop! So nice to meet you today.
