It has been gray and rainy all week and my days to shoot the last of the colors in the gardens are numbered as we are in for hard freeze this weekend. In the backyard, the salvias are still blooming and the tamarac has turned golden and soon will be losing it's needles. Below, the last of the brown-eyed susans...
a lone Dr. Ruppel clematis blossom...
and bunches of blackberry lily seed pods.
This annual was a winner in my eye's, hot-lips salvia. It just bloomed and bloomed all summer and is still going strong. The little sets of lips were always in pairs and the hummingbirds loved them.
The mums are drooping in the rain...
and some gloriosa daisies have mutated (a virus in the ground?).
The new front rose garden exceeded my expectations...
and the roses just keep blooming...
along with the little gem marigolds.
The autumn highlight of the front landscape is the burning bush standard.
It's leaves and berries providing lots of color...
and behind it, one last HF Young clematis blossom.
Another gardening season is almost closed, but I still have tulips to plant and cleanup to be done. Frost is one thing, but I'm hoping snow is still aways off!

Hi Marsha, Found your blog from Family and Flowers. Your pictures are great. I love how you put those cute little frames around them.
Enjoyed your photos from the Rockies and the canyons as well.
