Could it be that there are some signs of the end of summer? There is a hint of coolness in the summer air. The humidity is a little less. The plants are past their peak.
Today, the photos I have chosen has a purple tone. At least, I think that they all do. I hope you enjoy them.
Tomorrow, I will be joining the Six on Saturday group. We are a group of gardeners that meet online and post 6 gardening photos for the week. Why not collect 6 of your own and join us. The rules are here on the website curated by Jim Stephens. https://gardenruminations.co.uk/
The Rose of Sharon or Althea has such a beautiful shade. It is in its second blooming for the year.
The ginger lily has a beautiful bloom but since it is low on the plant, you have to be persistent to see it.
The Tradescantia or Purple Heart is also in its second blooming.
The Stokes has been prolific this year. This is from a group transplanted from the seedlings of the mother plants.
The Vitex is also in a second blooming.
The variegated liriope is rather non descript until it blooms. It then stands out from a distance.
Hope you liked today’s purple theme.
Happy Gardening!

I like the Aster, it reminds me of Scabius.
It has gone decidedly autumnal here too, although we do have a another hot weather spike forecast for Monday!
This aster does look like Scabius. It is really looking fabulous.
I am ready for some fall weather. The hot weather is really draining.
Very nicely colour themed this week! There is definitely an autumnal feel in the garden at the moment, leaves are starting to change colour and there is a nip in the air at the moment, even though we have hot temperatures forecast for a couple of days next week!
Thank you. Yes, it is time for fall gardening planning.
Vitex is a large shrub. It is commonly called a chaste tree for reasons unknown to me.
We have been very warm this summer and our rainfall has been consistent. It has been a very good gardening year.
I love the ginger lily, I’d love to grow them here and some people do but I don’t think I’d get them through winter. Maybe I should try. And you had two flowerings from your hibiscus – impressive.
That Rose of Sharon is a lovely colour.
That ginger lily is so delicate. I like your purple theme.
Love the ginger lily – what a pretty flower! Yes, late summer is here too.
