What a surprise to see a nice clump of Kniphofia (Red Hot Poker - Torch Lily) blooming in the garden when I took a walk outside to see "What's What ! It has been a few days since I have been outside . The garden is changing colors and dropping leaves quickly day to day .
The Red Hot Poker plants have been here since before I moved here . They have never seemed to do well until this year . I understand they require proper moisture and not hot dry conditions . The plants bloom more as they get older and left in the same location for several years . Since I have been outside working a lot this past spring and summer in the garden , they have gotten a lot more water than usual . Like Gladiolus, they bloom from the bottom up . They are blooming probably for various factors . And, I like it !
The fig leaves are carpeting the ground in a lovely bright yellow color . And, the blooming White Chrysanthemums on the right are drooping their large heads as they are filled with rainwater.
What an inviting view coaching one to take a cup of tea out to the garden for a little sit down time to enjoy the beautiful changing colors . Look at that singular Yellow Fig leaf in the middle of the Orange Crepe Myrtle . Is that symbolic for something ??
The Hydrangeas are fading away but still doing well with the rain and all.
These persistent Roses are still trying to bring joy even with the heavy rains we have had !
Well, I have to wrap this up and get on the road up the hill to my Medical Appointment.
Wishing you a Fabulous Day.
Mary
