Mother Nature has outdone herself this autumn.

This lovely is growing in the PNW.

This hot pink Dianthus does real well growing

in my yard, which is great because I don't

pay it much attention. Those blooms though

always catch my eye.

Such a lovely sunny yellow, this Columbine

has won my heart.

This Coleus stands out in a crowd!
Such a versatile plant, you can grow it in the

shady areas of your yard but you can

also grow it as a houseplant through the winter.

The more sunshine it gets, the less color it has.

This close up is of a fairly small wildflower.

I adore this plant but can almost never remember it's name!

This is one of 2 Caryopteris shrubs in my yard,

the more common name is Bluebeard shrub.
Some of them have bluer flowers and the dark green

leaves while this one has the lovely yellow edged leaves.

Easy to grow; it flowers late summer and into fall

which makes it a nice contrast to all the yellow fall flowers.

All kinds of bees love the flowers so keep that in mind

when placing this lovely in your yard.

Oak Leaf Hydrangea, this flower

fascinates me with its simple beauty.

Columbine, a lovely dark one.

These spring bloomers will adorn

almost any location, mine seem to thrive

no matter how well I do or don't care for them!

To me these flowers are the epitome of summer.

The Shasta Daisy created by Luther Burbank.

An Impatien and a Begonia showing off their lovely

colors in Bellingham, WA. I do believe these

lovelies will flower in most locals given some shade.

This isn't exactly from my garden.
These pears were from an orchard in Yakima, WA.

Still plant related and an honored guest

in my home!

Delphinium, a flower that survives the hard winters

in Alaska. If a flower can come up year after year

there then I feel it deserves admiration.

This one grows in my PNW garden.

Red Cabbage, stunning colors.

Grows anywhere you plant it!

Nothing scents the air sweeter then honey like Alyssum.

You can enjoy this lovely summer flower anywhere.

Even though we have seen these flowers before, there

is nothing boring about them.

Liatris, Echinacea and Rudbeckia.

Always lovely.

Hardy Jasmine (Jasminum officinale "Hardy Jasmine").

Hopefully it will grow in my garden!

They may not be a hardy plant but we

enjoy them no matter. This one grows

in Bellingham, WA.

An easy to grow climbing rose. Always stunning.

The Foxglove aka Digitalis purpurea, a poisonous

but beautiful flower. Considered to be a noxious

weed by many but loved by others (myself included!).

Japanese Maple, always a pretty site.

I have no idea what this tree is! I have seen it growing

in the PNW and in MI.
If you know what this is, please let me know.

Japanese Anemone, growing in Bellingham WA.

I've seen in growing in various places but

I don't know much about this flower other then

it is lovely (and a perennial!).

The Red Elderberry (Sambucus Racemosa)

while beautiful is considered highly poisonous.

This plant is a native plant to a majority of states

but is endangered in a few.

Ever since I was a child in AK and saw the daisy

blooming every summer it became a plant I love.

The Shasta daisy will grow anywhere, even places

you don't plant it (yes that could make it a weed!).

The name of this plant eludes me!

I really enjoy its yellow blooms popping out

in the shady places of my yard.
