Miscellaneous Monday: Garden Bloggers Bloom Day - September 2020

Garden Bloggers Bloom Day is the 15th of every month, so here are some views from my gardens at the Parsonage in Digby. This time of year is filled with plants of the Aster family, Asteraceae. Check out other horticultural delights by visiting May Dream Gardens, with a list of many blogs for mid-month.

Joe Pye Weed - some horticultural variety, not a wild one.

A white Ironweed (Vernonia). 

I especially like white flowers on a plant that usually is no so.

These Dahlias are new to me this year.

I started these Wingstems (Verbesina alternifolia) from seed a couple years ago, and they have finally flowered. I really like the structure of the flowerhead, it's unique.

Good ole Coneflower (Ecinacea) lasts a long time. These ones actually seeded themselves in the front of the bed, and I never got them moved back deeper.

These perennial Asters are just starting here in NS. A great plant for this soon to be frosty month. And I have some of the short variety yet to bloom. These season-extending flowers are so important up here!

This Rudbeckia keeps on blooming. 

It did not get very tall this year, having been chopped up and transplanted in early summer. 

You will see that I have other days of the week themed for other parts of my life. I may or may not stick closely to these themes. My next day for gardens and nature is Wednesday. Stay tuned!

Sacred Sunday: Sermon: Good and Evil

 So, I am revamping my Blog this week, to make it comprehensive. Not just gardening anymore! Wednesdays we will be 'in the weeds' once again, not to mention the occasional other day. A lot of things will be found here on other days of the week. The first day of each week will be Sacred Sundays,' so here is today's sermon. 

Bloom Day July 2020

'Tis Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, and things are flowering all over the yard here in Digby, weeds included; I will feature just one of them. After quite a dry spell, here in Nova Scotia, we've been catching up on the rains, and will continue. Just in time.

Monkshood

 

Korean Bellflower

 

 I do love true blues. The purples and mauves and lavenders are also fine with me. White is also a favorite of mine.

St. Bernard's Lily

A small Foxglove

Shasta Daisies 

Goatsbeard (with a Banana)

This little Pitcher Plant, below, was slow emerging again in a galvanized tub bog garden, and did not bloom, but the leaves are a good as any flower to me.

Do enjoy the many blogs posted on the 15th of each month on May Dreams Gardens for GBBD. Thanks, Carol, for continuing to have us all share our mid-month marvels.
