These were taken at The Denver Botanical Gardens at Chatfield. October 2014. Just what I want my garden to look like!

October in the yard.

October in the yard...I hate all the choke cherry in the summer, but it adds a punch in the fall so maybe I won't pull it all out next spring.

Echinacea, , Helenius autumnale, Rudbeckia hirta "Goldsturm"

July garden and patio, 2014

Late summer on the patio, and late blooming flowers.

Everyday makes a difference in what is shooting up. Some penstemons and kniphofia did not make it through the winter, and some plants should have been divided last fall. Oh well, a lesson learned.

I also lost a Helenius autumnal that was front and center so had to rush off an order for a few of those.  

End of May
