Earthy, natural beauty perfect for extending the flower season well into the chilly fall months.

The Queen Anne's Lace in my garden is blooming. It's one of the best cut flowers you can grow.

Another way to use and enjoy your blooms and keep them a bit longer is to candy them!

Everywhere the wild violets (both tolerated and loved by my grandmother) are beginning to bloom just in the last couple of days.

A lot of browns in the garden right now but here and there tough perennials are showing some green.
