More This and That from the Garden...

My garden is winding down here...I see leaves turning yellow at the bases of some of them, indicating that autumn is well on its way.

Today, I am posting some photos of the last of the garden's blushing blooms for you.



First, this is one of my wild hollyhock garden:

A grouping of purple phlox. They were growing in our lot when we built our house, so we saved them by digging them and moving them over from their original spot:









Yellow hollyhock blossoms:









We only had one or two white phlox on our lot, so we saved them too:

I will be posting autumn colors photographs, before we know it!!
