“Autumn burned brightly, a running flame through the mountains, a torch flung to the trees.” ~Faith Baldwin
The colors of autumn have been mind blowing. Even with the earlier sunsets.
The maple leaves, a favorite tree, are a kaleidoscope of colors; orange, pink, red.
And the last of my container plants, in the back garden, were used for this vase. The company doing the power washing of the exterior agreed not to use chemicals; they were using a diluted bleach…..yikes! But with powerful jets of water, and some scrub brushes, they made do.
As you can see we had several zinnias left.
And a red tobacco, nicotiana.
Pink cosmos
And a few calendula.
It really brought the colors of autumn to our indoor space. For remaining fall vases, I will rely on perennials that are still flowering. Our weather turned warm so hoping that the first killing frost is a long way off still.
With this vase, I am joining in with the wonderful meme, In A Vase On Monday, from Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.
