Summer is a distant memory here but I spend a lot of time going back through my photos and thinking about gardening. Here's a pic of a combo that I like. Please add some of your favorite garden pictures!

Maltese Cross (Silene (Lychnis) chalcedonica) cv. with Veronicastrum sibiricum and Persicaria polymorpha:

That is so feautiful. I'm sitting by the heater after my chilly walk with the dogs and looking at you wonderful summer photo.

Those are beautiful! I love the color. Here are a few of my Summer memories!

First one is the Trailing Morning Glory, Shidare, second is Roselle Hibiscus, Thai Red.

Here's a few of mine;

Very pretty, springcolor and Xeranthemum! Being in such mild zones, do you still have things in bloom?

It's been wild here weather wise - today the high was in the low 70's and tomorrow suppose to be in the upper 70's! My White Butterfly hedychium ginger is still blooming! This picture was taken this morning!!!!! What a fragrant treat! Unfortunately, looks like winter will be back on the menu by Wednesday.

Wow, those are all so beautiful, you brighten my day. ... Here are some favs.

Wow .. what an incredible colorful variety you have! I especially love those pansys!

So so beautiful.
Xeramtheum, most everything is gone now. Has been cold and wet with a few frosts. Pretty ginger to cold here for those.
Susan,Love the heuchera!!!! Well everything else too.

Thanks Xeramtheum!

spring, the thread is 'Memories of summer'. Do you have anymore memories?? Mine is all gone too, even the pansies are from last year I did not plant any this year, no room anyway. Last two projects were perennial beds and mostly butterfly plants, like coneflowers. Daylilies are everywhere else, I am going to be digging lawn next.
