Enjoyed it for sure! Beautiful blooms!! I hate to see winter coming too! Judy

Lovely. I, too, hate to see our blooms come to an end and I have so enjoyed all the pictures and info everyone has generously shared. Thank you!

Great pics Boxo! :-)

If I lived in Portland I'd be over, begging for a tuber of that exquisite pale pink dahlia! Love the twisted center petals.

I'm blaming the humid weather for the mildewed asters. Now down to the low 80's so it's back to the garden. Clean-up here also.

Lol, oh, boxo, such a whiny baby! I have nary a bloom left out there already and you seem to still have tons of gorgeous blooms!

Thanks all and sharing is the better part of gardening :-)

I am just now putting the final coat of sealer on my deck from the project from HE** . I still want to have one more intimate garden party before I put it all into mothballs so holding my breath for one more 70ish date !

iris....if you did I would !!!!!

seil, guilty as charged. Here it is the 8th of October and I cut a bouquet that just boggles the halloweenic mind ;-)

That will be part 5 in the Waaaah series......premiering soon !

Hey box!! Long time, no see!! How come you never visit the NW Gardening forum any more?

Great pics, btw. How is the rest of the garden?

Beautiful flowers. Thank you for sharing. I have a few more David Austin roses coming in 2015 from Regan. Can't wait to plant them.

Hey gg, longtime. I've done periodic drivebys to NWG but my timing has usually been when it's really slow and the topics have been such that I didn't have a lot to contribute. My garden is still evolving. The last couple of strange weather winters have cost me. I lost all of my California lilacs and all of my many walkway groundcovers. The ceanothus is fine because their loss was an opportunity to improve via more creative options but the sheer volume of gc to replace just hasn't been financially feasible with so many other projects. It still amazes me that I started out with little more than yellow lawn flowers and every year just seems to get better.

Beautiful pics, I have enjoyed all the pics you have posted this spring and summer, your garden is amazing and I look forward to next years round of pics of your garden.
