the garden is switching over from summer bounty to looking sparse. it feels like there is less bloom. and there is. each day there are a few less flowers in bloom. except they are not completely done. the late bloomers are still busy. in fact a few are yet to open. this one opened today. talk about holding back. the flower is 11 inches 27.9 cm across. i think things will still be interesting while the switch over occurs…

Just waiting for its time to shine!
Awesome treat!
I hear you on the wind down.
I’m finding myself thinking I need to intentionally seek out late season bloomers for any additions.
Thanks always for sharing!
