I awoke to a beautiful day....
(click photos to enlarge)
(high hopes roses)
and snapped this photo,
from my front porch
as the last haze was burning off Mount Rainer...
The Dahlias are blooming...
Their so pretty purple dipped petals
deserved a close-up :-)
My Ebb Tide roses are up for more blooms...
The sweet Ballerina Roses are also happy...
The Potato Vine
still dripping with the mornings dew
is covered in bright red berries....
(high hopes roses and cupids darts)
Of course a few days of good weather
mean there is lots of work to do in the garden,
these blooms were causalities of pruning
and will be enjoyed on my nightstand...
The Cottage Rose
is a beauty and smells wonderful...
I couldn't resist bringing in a bouquet...
Happy Lady Bugs
are abundant and wandering everywhere:-)
Today I am joining...
Susan for Outdoor Wednesday
Thanks for joining me today...

Just gorgeous! Your flowers are inspiring! And I love the shot of Mt. Rainier. Such a wonderful mountain.
I love that rose! You'll have to give suggestions in the spring when I'm buying roses. :)
I've been busy in the garden, too. I've planted over a 100 bulbs so far!
I love love love the dahlias! They're my favorite! I have them all over my apartment (:

A beautiful post, Bella.
Of all autumnal flowers, dalhias are the most gorgeous. They have so much shapes and colors. It is a delight to see them bloomin in the gardens.
Ballerina is a rose bush I have for years. It delights me every summer and in autumn it blooms again abundantly. A dream rose.

Dearest Bella,
For having been to Atlanta, I missed reading your post in time... What a lovely mountain view you have and your last roses and dahlia etc. are so rewarding for any gardener. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Hello Bella, your Dhalias are so beautiful that I decide to make them in ceramic, no match to nature I know it... but I ll try to capture minor beauty of this flower and its colour and shading... I ll show you if I can do:) Love
As always, your photos are incredible and evoke such a sense of the period. I love it! Reading your blog is a balm for the spirit.
