Rose 'Lady Elsie May'

'Blue Heaven' Little Bluestem and 'Prairie Sky' Switchgrass

Fall is finally here. A bittersweet time of fading blooms but rich colors and crisp cool air. I have lots of prewinter prep to do before the snow comes but a lot of things are still blooming after getting protection from earlier frosts. After days of warm temps in the seventies and even eighties I think the cooler temps are here to stay.

  1. Stunning rudbeckias, they go well with the pumpkins, too. Happy Bloom Day.

  2. Found you through GBBD, and I just had to leave a comment - that rudbeckia, Cherokee Sunset? It's FAB.

  3. Lovely post...I'm smitten by the last pic of the grasses...I've been thinking of getting 'Heavenly Blue' next season...do you like it?

  4. The rudbeckias are from two plants,both Cherokee Sunset but the self seeded offspring have all been different but beautiful.
    I do like the 'Heavenly Blue'. I also have 'The Blues' little bluestem but for some reason it has kind of flopped over more this year. Still pretty but floppy. This new variety is supposed to stay more upright. It's on it's second year now so we'll see.
