Amazingly these Impatiens still look great. The leaves are starting to yellow, but they continue to flower and make me smile.
The red Begonias look completely at home in the fall landscape. The red flowers with the reddish-brown stem and darker leaves look appropriate for this time of year.
In the flower box on the front porch, I recently planted purple Ornamental Kale and some sweet orange colored Violas. I love the contrasting colors.
The yellow Lantana is still blooming nicely in the hanging container on the front porch. It's doing amazingly well considering its not getting full sun anymore.
These Geraniums were the best thing I bought this year. The vibrant pink with the lush green leaves were gorgeous no matter where I moved this container. And they are still looking great in mid-October!
The New Guinea Impatiens didn't really do much this year. Maybe they didn't get enough sun. However, I'm enjoying their lush foliage for now. Especially when everything else is dropping their leaves.
I have many of the same plants and mine are still blooming and making me happy, too. My impatiens have actually perked up quite a bit with the cooler temperatures.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate. You do still have some pretty blooms in your garden. I love the orange Violas against the Kale. Very pretty. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteDear Kate, You still have some very pretty flowers in bloom in your garden. The Coleus looks particularly lush and, I agree, the chocolate blotch is most appealing.
ReplyDeleteYou have so much still in bloom!! It's lovely. I brought my coleus indoors. I hope it continues to grow. My New Guinea Impatiens gave up, I threw it in the compost! The only thing I have blooming now are marigolds, begonias and mums.
