Hello friends! Welcome to our Thursday Garden stroll! We're proud members of the Society of Feline Gardeners. Today is the last day of September, and our garden is starting to get very sleepy.
 |
| Currently we have some GINORMOUS Cosmos. We can't believe how tall they have gotten. (no, that isn't Sunflowerzilla, that is the smaller Sunflower.) |
 |
| The purple-y Cosmos are our favorites, but we also have some white ones. |
 |
| The butterflies seem to really like the white Cosmos the best. |
 |
| In the front yard we have this Pineapple Sage. (Sage is another name for the Saliva family of plants.) They call this a Pineapple Sage because the leaves smell just like pineapples! This is one of the hummingbirds favorite plants. |
 |
| This beautiful Saliva is called a Forsythia Salvia. In the Midwest where our Mom is originally from, they have a plant called a Forsythia Bush that blooms in the Spring. We can't grow those here where we live in California, so our Mom found this Forsythia Saliva that mimics the blooms of the Forsythia Bush. It blooms in the Fall, as you can see. It makes Mom a little homesick for Indiana. (until it starts snowing there and it's 70 degrees here, then she isn't homesick anymore!) |

Thanks for taking the garden stroll with us today friends! Don't forget to visit all the other Feline Gardeners who are writing about their gardens today.
We are sure having some issues with the new blogger publishing tool. Our fonts keep changing on us. The pictures are running over the sides of our blog. It's more difficult than the old blogger. We'll stop complaining soon, but it's bugging the heck out of us. So sorry if our post today looks sloppy.
And a special Happy Birthday shout out to our Mom's sister Christine! We love you! xoxo, Raymond |
