Campsis radicans, trumpet vine arches over the long 33ft arbor on the south side of the house. Hummingbirds visit this plant and then my feeder. But I think the little birds have migrated to warmer homes. Some areas around here have already received frost. Our frost date is about September 29. But sometimes frost holds off until October 5th or maybe even October 10th.
Sally Holmes continues to bloom. How lovely are these single blooms. They start out a yellow peach and move to white.
Dill, Pink Simplicity Rose and an annual Euphorbia
Iceberg Rose
Next to the above roses is a butternut squash plant with 7 fruits.

Hi, Gloria! So happy to see all of these pretty blooms today! I saw, on the weather report, that SD was getting pelted with another storm. Glad to see it skipped right over your lovely garden. :)
ReplyDeleteGloria, your roses are lovely. You have the Trumpet Vine in a perfect spot. I planted it next to my house and it got into the gutterso, yikes, it was hard to remove. It is a beauty.

ReplyDeletei'm enjoying touring your garden with you today, i'm really enjoying my visit. the roses are beautiful and the campsis radicans is striking!
Hi Kate, here in Hot Springs we missed the storm. We are having cool dry days. I love them. I started digging up the plants in the back alley. What a workout. This will be a several days project done inbetween the other things that we all need to do.
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, I can imagine the gutter-growing-into trumpet vine. There is a building downtown, I think it is for storage that has a huge vine growing into and out the building. Hey, you just gave a me a good idea for a blog post! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI love seeing what's growing on Bloom Day in other parts of the country - parts that are not hot and humid 10 months out of the year like Houston. Your garden is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGarden of Threads, thank you - I'm glad I manage one Bloom Day
ReplyDeleteHi Noel, thank you for touring my garden with me.
ReplyDeleteBirdwoman, thanks for the visit and comment. It is so cool and dry right now. I wish the freeze would stay away. Hot and humid would be hard to deal with. I imagine you have to look for plants that are "mildew resistant". Are there such things?
ReplyDeleteGloria, I'll admit to being a bit envious of all your blooms. I think Sally Holmes and the iceberg rose are my favorites. -Jean
ReplyDeleteThe pink Simplicity and the euphorbia look great together. My grandmother always had that euphorbia in her flower beds in N.Dak.....I believe it is called 'Snow on the Mountain'. I have had a hard time getting it to grow here in Idaho, but I keep trying!
ReplyDeleteGloria, How come your Campsis is such a pretty color? All I've seen is the orange variety and although I have nothing against orange, it doesn't work in my garden. Yours is definitely a more coral-ly color and I love it.
ReplyDeleteJean, I do have lots of blooms right now, more I think than last year. I think it was the buffalo poo soil improvement. Today, Ted said that for anniversary next year, our 30th he will make sure I get more manure!
ReplyDeleteConnie, Yes, folks around here also call in Snow on the Mountain. This variety just self-sows. Have you tried just sowing seeds in dry places. I could send you seeds
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, this Campsis is a red coral like color. I got my first start from a plant that grows downtown. I think it has been there years and years. This Campsis gives abundant huge seed pods, I could send you some. If you grow this, grow it away from a building. I am going to post pictures of this Campsis growing in and out of a downtown building (storage shed of some kind.
ReplyDeleteLovely roses and your trumpet vine will be stunning once it covers your pergola... it will cover the entire structure unless you prune it back. I have tried to grow the vine but not succeeded yet. Some say it is so invasive... funny. Frost already! I hope it warms up for you and the little hummers. They are moving south now anyway. Most likely you are seeing migrating ones. Your first photo is pure beauty! ;>)
ReplyDeleteYour garden always looks wonderful. Great squash. jim
ReplyDeleteThe Sally Holmes rose is wonderful! Your garden still looks great - I love the dill, pink rose and euphorbia combination.
