And, just like that, the long weekend up and leaves without so much as a goodbye note, dumping us back into the work week with rain clouds as a consolation prize. In any case, hope everyone had a good one! Here’s some sunny summer eye candy to distract you from the puddles.

A Sunday spent in the Rock Garden is, in its way, a miniature vacation. No beach umbrellas, but the trees fill the gap admirably.

Would it be merry Saturday, or happy Saturday? Either way, the hibiscus are still blooming.

Seeing pine cones in the trees never fails to set me off thinking about winter preparations. New boots, mending buttons on an old jacket, the mortifying possibility that I’ll have to be out on the sidewalk, smacking at ice with a shovel in the near future. But there are good things swept along with the cold, like our most beloved holiday exhibition. Stay tuned for more on that as we edge closer to the season.
In the meantime, let’s savor these last days of summer, shall we?

Seeing an Echinops globe by its lonesome might trick you into thinking you’re looking at a smallish allium (onions, garlic) flower, but don’t be fooled. They’re actually a type of thistle (and a good way to break up the riot of orange we’ve had dominating the blog feed for the last few days).

Orange to the point that it almost seems to siphon off the color from the foliage around it. Wishing you a happy Wednesday from the Seasonal Border.

If you happen to stop by the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden for “Pollinator Pals,” running now through October 5, you might be lucky to catch a few fluttering monarchs as they make their annual migration to Mexico. Despite what experience tells us, this flight is somewhat more challenging than eight hours spent in coach.

Wishing everyone a happy Saturday from the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden! If being knee-deep in vegetables is your style, there’s no place like it.
