Garden Bloggers Bloom Day~ Another First

Until very recently my blog posts have been erratic and I have not attempted to participate in the Garden Bloggers community. I'm very happy to be posting my first GBBD!

Salvia 'San Carlos Festival' is finally putting on a show in my garden. It has barely bloomed through the growing season saving it all for a fabulous Fall Season~ I hope.



Salvia uliginosa, Bog Sage, has been a workhorse this year.



Garlic Chives are still pretty and attract all sorts of pollinators.



Buddleia 'Potter's Purple'- the first full year in the garden and I love it!



Caryopteris incana, Blue Mist.



Lespedeza



Anisicanthus quadrifidus var wrighttii



Miscanthus 'Cabaret'

    Oooh... I'm glad that you decided to participate! these are beautiful pics--and I'm sooo jealous of that caryopteris. The dark stems on that one really make it eye-catching.

    And the salvia! I think I need more salvia after seeing your post... :)

    Ahh, that Miscanthus 'Cabaret' shot ought to be submitted to Gardening Gone Wild's photo contest. It's lovely. I'm still waiting for my passalong garlic chives to bloom. I hope they attract as many pollinators as yours have.

    Beautiful pictures for Bloom Day! I especially like the Miscanthus shot -- it reminds me of Sea Oats at the beach, only daintier.

    I see I'm not the only one who likes the grass photo the best. I'm thinking the contest Pam talked about has grasses for a theme this time. You should check it out.

    I like your other blooms, too. Great first GBBD post! (Thanks for your comment on mine, too.)

    Beautiful photos! I agree with Pam and Sue--you really should submit the miscanthus photo to this contest; it is stunning. Good to see all the "critters" fluttering about your blooms. And I do love your header!

    Happy First GBBD post! Lovely blooms and I too am struck by your Miscanthus shot... captures a rather universal feeling of grass.

    Hi Littlewing.
    Your photos are wonderful and you have some gorgeous blooms for your first Bloom Day.
    I love your header...so pretty...and all the "little winged" critters on your flowers. Beautifully captured.
    I have a growing fascination with Salvias and must try more of them.
    Do you get many hummers visiting that pretty Hummingbird Bush?
    Good luck with your Miscanthus photo. It's a beauty!
    Thanks for visiting and saying hello. Nice to "meet" you :)
