[...] I missed Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day this month. For the most part, the same things that were blooming last September were blooming this September. (No mums yet, oddly.) But I did want to share a few [...]

Last week, we had a great time at my grandfather's farm. He has a flower farm with different flowers and I am not really familiar with its names but I saw some of them like your flowers here such as zinnias and chyrsanthemum. There are all so lovely! Best Regards, san diego screen printing

Beautiful flowers! I love all of them. My favorite one is the chrysanthemum. For me flowers is a medium for relaxation. .-= John @ bigjobsboard´s last blog ..Credit Supervisor, Atlanta, GA to $65K =-.

Frost next week! It hardly seems possible. But yet, even in my garden the signs of Fall are unmistakable.

And I like how you organized your bloom day post… annuals, containers, natives, planted especially for fall!

I too am inspired by the cyclamen. I had always thought of them as a plant that only deigned to live in the rarefied climate of the British isles or such. If you can grow them, I guess I should given them a shot. .-= PlantingOaks´s last blog ..The almost walnut door =-.

Just love the cyclamen. Didn’t think you could grow them in “a cold climate” – maybe I should look into that. The planter is beautiful, the orange flowers of your diascias echoed in the suptle stripes on the canna leaves. And of course zinnias – so completely easy and reliable.

Beautiful zinnias … I must not forget to grow them next season. In my south-central Connecticut garden, the asters are still just buds – though the earlier pruning they received from the resident deer likely pushed back thier bloom.

I love the zinnia bouquet. Very colorful. I’ve decided this is something I need to grow next year.

Deborah, the typical growth cycle of colchicums is that the old corm dies and a new corm is created every summer. So if you dig them up to divide them, you do find empty, or almost empty husks–but a new bulb is growing at the base. However, sometimes I have seen slugs at the base of the foliage as it’s dying back. Perhaps your slugs made a meal of the whole corm. Perhaps that is also why some of mine did not return for a second year.
