Fall Foliage & Flowers

It was a stunningly gorgeous day here yesterday so walking about taking photos was a wonderful treat. This is one of the trees in front of the building, which still has green leaves.

These little pink roses are still blooming along the walkway up to the front door.

The mums are looking wonderful and rich.

It seems almost every high-rise building around here has planters out front. This is one of the planters across the street.

This is another, and one of my favourites.

This is my favourite of the plants in that planter — these always fascinate me and I love that they last well into the late fall.

What an incredible roof garden! I know I’ve said that before, but these autumn photos are amazing. A couple of those with mixed flowers would be great inspiration for a quilt.

The planters are gorgeous. I love the ornamental cabbage and kale but have never put it in my pots. I’m all done with pots by fall. You really have a lot of color around you. Thanks for the tour.

Lovely photos! Isn’t it great to be surrounded by growing things? It’s good for the soul! I love that ornamental kale! I planted some a few years ago and it lasted until Christmas!

Cathi, the flowers are so pretty right now. I have some that are growing and blooming better now in the cool weather than they did all summer. I think I will try plantings with the decorative cabbage, so pretty in autumn colors. Our early frosts are hard on fall flowers.

Flowers and their colors are so inspiring. It makes me think Kaffe Fassett all the time when I look at flowers.

I like that Dusty Miller, but for the life of me, can’t keep one growing. They always die.I haven’t tried growing ornamental kale yet, but sure do like that. Maybe I’ll add that to next year’s garden.Lovely colors!
