Today when I walked in the garden I saw that there were only a few
late summer flowers blooming; belladonna lilies, four O’clocks, toad lilies and the sweet autumn
clematis. When these flowers bloom I know that the summer season is coming to
an end and that the fall mums will start to bloom soon.
The toad lilies remind me of dainty orchids. They are such an
exotic looking flower but have no fragrance. They grow amongst my Hosta
plants and their beauty brightens the shade garden.
The fragrance in the garden today was glorious. The sweet scent of the belladonna mixed with the vanilla scent of the
clematis and the sweet scent of the four O'clocks attracted wildlife; bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. They were all busy
buzzing around in the yard.
I spent a few hours in the yard, watching the light and when it was
just right I took some photographs. If
you like flowers as much as I do, then I know you will enjoy these photographs
of my late summer garden flowers.
