exquisiteness....
Relieved to see it rebounding (let alone blooming) since after purchase it lost all it's leaves & had to start from scratch!
Planted in front of the 'Mojito' urn container, you can see the lone bloom in the center of the photo:
Hope it's smothered in blooms next year.
Along with 'Star Gazer' the David Austins are closing down the garden season more beautifully than I expected. Below 'Crown Princess Margareta:'
'Teasing Georgia:'
and 'Jubilee Celebration:'
Throw in a few 'Cinderella' pumpkins:
and the garden is dressing for fall...
I think I'm ready???? Are you???
Kathleen, that hydrangea is beautiful. I hope it is smothered with blooms next year as well. Crown Princess Margareta is so pretty, almost not real. Is it fragrant too?

I have had my eye on that Stargazer Hydrangea Kathleen. Now I know I have to add one to the garden. LOL! Just gorgeous. And I love that Crown Princess Margareta rose. It is just beautiful. So many lovely roses so little room. LOL!Have a lovely week and I hope your anemones bloom soon.

Oh my gosh, they're all so stunning Kathleen! Sigh. No, I'm not ready. But we need rain or snow or some other precipitation. I can't believe we're down nearly 10 inches for the year. Dare I say, I hope we get plenty of snow this winter...

I like the petal arrangement and colouring on your Hydrangea Double Delights 'Star Gazer'. It did well to come back from losing all of its leaves. That's about when I often give up on a plant.
Your Colocasia Mojito is looking good. I tried one that was new to me this year, Bikini Tini. I really like its colouring.
