Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – September 2010

September 15, 2010 By Carol Michel 89 Comments

Delphinium sp.

 Welcome to Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day for September 2010.

My garden cries out for rain. Half way through September, it still seems like August, hot and dry. I long for rainy fall days, when the rain falls throughout the day and drips from the leaves as they cling to the trees for just a few more weeks.

Instead, I must live and garden with my current reality. The earth is cracked, some flowers are either dried up or wilted, and I’m running around watering as much as I can.

Fortunately, though, some flowers are blooming and the season still provides a few surprises, like a lone Delphinium bloom, a reminder of June days in the garden.

Ah, yes, June. That was the month it rained so much that we thought the garden would be growing and flourishing forever.

Elsewhere in the garden, back where the vegetables grow, the marigolds, zinnias, mums and a few sunflowers carry forth.

Helianthus annuus ‘Autumn Beauty


My goldenrod is in full bloom.


Solidago shortii

 This is my rare Solidago shortii, now covered with pollinators. I hope for some self-sowing from this beauty of my fall garden.

Out in front, the Heuchera are blooming, but I took no pictures, because it is hard to get a picture of their dainty flower spikes. Likewise, no pictures of the Panicum virgatum ‘Shenandoah’, switch grass, also blooming.

But how about pictures, once again, of the yellow rose of the Knockout® Rose, Rosa ‘Radsunny’?


Rosa ‘Radsunny’


It’s been blooming steadily all summer long.

And all summer long, the aster, Symphyotrichum oblongifolium ‘October Skies’ has been growing, branching, and budding up.


Symphyotrichum oblongifolium ‘October Skies’

Slowly, surely, it will bloom and provide a bright spot to end this dry season in the garden.

What’s blooming in your garden?

We would love to have you join in for Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day. It’s easy to participate and all are invited!

Just post on your blog about what is blooming in your garden on the 15th of the month and put your name and the url to your post in the Mr. Linky widget below. Then leave a comment to tell us what you have waiting for us to see so we can pay you a virtual visit!

    You're so right, Carol, live and garden with your current reality. That's what we've been doing. One perk of renting — we don't pay the water bill so watering the veggies hasn't been too bad, but just noticed that even our established bushes are starting to look not-so-great.

    Insomnia helps me post early for Bloom Day. There are lots of flowers blooming but they are all spread out over the garden. It is like playing hide and seek. Happy Bloom Day, Carol. Hope you are safely home and tucked in tonight.

    That rose is a knockout, as they say! We've had a rainy summer but suddenly it's dry here, too, and a number of plants are already showing stress from warm dry weather.

    You have more blooms in your gardens then I do we are very dry and praying for some rain. I do have a few faitfuls still hanging in my knockouts and some daylillies. And some Roses just planted this summer are starting to give me blooms now that our temps are cooler. Come visit and hope everyone has a great garden day!!

    Good Morning Carol

    Sorry to hear that that your beautiful new garden is desperately needing some rain. I hope you get some soon. I really like the colours in that rose bud and that aster is certainly going to give you a great show of colour soon. We've had plenty of rain here in Scotland – strange weather this month normally September is better than this.

    I see I'm not the only one with insomnia. What happened to the rain this year? It seems as if you got all of August's rain in June. And what's up with ex-Aster 'October Skies'? Mine also has just a couple of blooms instead of the cloud of them it usually has at this time of year. Love the Delphinium with the rough wood of the fence.

    Hi Carol, we feel your pain with the lack of rain and scarily sad situation. Mature trees are looking very poorly right now, but you still have some fabulous flowers! That goldenrod is very special, you are doing a good deed by helping it flourish. Our October Skies is also covered with buds, none open yet. It blooms here in October, with the muhly grass peaking.

    Thank you for hosting this Carol. I love your Delphinium, such a gorgeous deep blue. You will see from the photos on my entry (my first foray…) that we have had a lot of rain, welcome after our own dry spell earlier. Hope the clouds come rolling in soon to give your garden that much needed drink, but as you say, we have to garden with what we are presented with, weather, time, soil…

    We were hot and dry in August here in Nebraska, but September is bringing some relief. It's been in the lower 80s, and getting down to the 60s at night. We've also had a little rain. Maybe it will come your way.

    I like your delphinium and goldenrod. The asters do like to tease this time of year, hanging onto those buds awhile.

    I went out and took lots of photos of annuals and perennials, some that have blooming awhile, and others just opening.

Wild solidago along roadsides and in wild meadows is fantastic this year. Early season rains must have suited it. Thanks for hosting another GBBD.

    I'll join you in a rain dance, Carol! My petunias and callibrachoas have withered up and died in their pots despite all my attempts at regular watering. Somehow it just isn't the same as a nice rainfall. Your Rosa 'Radsunny' is a favorite of mine, too; I love that pale yellow.

My Radsunny didn't like all that rain which left behind battered petals. Still I bet it will look like yours soon. Don't you just love the sweet fragrance? Happy bloom day

    We've had lots of dry weather this summer too, and I've done my share of watering. It keeps us from doing those other garden jobs we'd rather be doing.

    Had a little trouble posting my Bloom Day entry, but I'm confident it's still the 15th somewhere on this planet. Not much in bloom in my small kitchen garden so late in the summer, but I think I caught some keepers!

    I hope you get some of the big rains we received last week! Your delphinium is stunning–can't stop staring at that color. I'm a day late, but my GBBD post is now up. Thanks for hosting!

    Haven't joined in the fun for a few months, and I'm a wee bit late, but better late than never, right?

    Carol, I simply MUST have one of those Radsunny Knockout roses! Maybe a whole front garden of them, in fact.

    Sorry to be late – and I have had to cheat, showing photos of someone else's garden!
    Happy belated Bloom Day

    I thought I had nothing blooming this month – until I took another look…vegetables are plants too!

    I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who came on the 17th (instead of the 15th) to add my GBBD post! Thanks for hosting this;-)

    I have very little blooming in my garden now. The wild flowers are the only things except for Solidago Fireworks. It isn't as full of buds as usual but I guess it should be expected with this drought.

    Carol – you haven't created a meme…you have created a PHENOM! 88 comments (89 now with mine!) Participants around the globe… and me with a MAJOR brain cramp forgetting the days of the month! You are a 'garden blog pioneer' — thanks for your Blogosphere Rally!! 😀
