Late Bloomers

2010 will go down as one of the weirdest weather years in western Washington. We had an incredibly warm, early spring (Feb-March) with lots of early blooms, then a long and wet spring (we didn't reach 75 degrees until July 5th!) followed by a really cool & cloudy summer. Hardly any of my plants bloomed, and I lost several of my potted roses. We are now into fall. The past week has been warm & sunny (what bliss!) so my garden produced some late blooms. Here are a few pictures I took to help sustain me through the awful rainy & snowy winter that the weather service keeps predicting.



My beautiful roses....I am so disappointed that a lot of them did not bloom at all this summer.
I love that I hardly got any slugs this year and my salvia is thriving!

Funny that these hydrangeas are from the same bush since their colors are so different.
