Hello everyone!
I can hardly believe it is already late in August and the garden will soon be winding down as we move into autumn.We have had a dry summer this year-especially August and some of the plants,especially the hydrangeas are getting a little droopy.However, if we just take a quick tour
around hopefully you will just see the beauty!
These photos were all taken last week so you can see there is still
lots of color.
The phlox and hydrangeas are the main show in our garden now-
it's a good thing we have lots!
Laura-a pretty dark mauve and white phlox
that is pretty mildew resistant.
Love the color combo here. It was a windy day so the pic is a bit fuzzy.
Sun and shadow.
A garden vignette.
The annebelle hydrangeas are still doing well.
I remember just a couple of months ago this arbor was looking naked.The virginia creeper really covers it now.
A bright pink tablecloth(really an old sheet) and a big bouquet adds a pop of color in the outdoor terrace/gazebo.
The phlox and limelight hydrangea at the bed by the road are still doing well.
The arbor that Andrew built several years ago has aged in nicely.
Another pretty phlox blooming in the garden now but I have forgotten the name of it.
Well,we didn't get all the way around the garden yet but I will show you more later.
Thank you for coming along with me.
Take care,
Carolyn

Darling Carolyn I feel always the same sensation when I came in one of your garden tour: to be in paradise!
Phlox is a plant to try in my garden next year: yours are glorious! How tall are your limelight hidrangeas? They seem to me so much taller than mine.
Have a nice day darling

I don't remember when I've seen such gorgeous photos and gardens! I am so inspired now to either go outside and work in my neglected flower beds or pick up paintbrush!
Thank you so much for sharing and for your lovely blog!

Your garden always brings a smile to my soul! Thank you for the beauty you bring to our world! God Bless You! Ana
Wish my garden looked like yours does in August! Phlox are wonderful at this time of the year, like you I think I must get more!
Visiting your blog is always a JOY. Here in N FL with our heat, humidity and lots and lots of rain this year my garden is looking really terrible. I have lost several old roses and I think because of all the rain we have had. Gardening is always a challenge. My Annabelle's finished blooming about a month ago but I still have some Limelights. I enjoyed your post as always.

Your garden is pure perfection. It's so luxuriant and the colours are amazing.

Lovely color and flowers. I really like your garden soo much.
o seu jardim é um paraíso aqui na terra, flores bem cuidadas,parabéns!
I read your blog every day, but seldom comment, as all I can ever think of to say is Gorgeous! Perfect! Heaven!
So generous of you to share all this beauty with us; thank you!
Time flies it is almost autumn again, but your August garden is still full of colour. To see on the pictures you have so many different lovely corners in your garden.
The purple really "pops" in your garden. It all look so lovely. I think we had all your rain down here in the south. No dryness here!
Oh how I love all the pinks and purples, Carolyn! I love how your gardens are so full and colorful! You have created heaven on earth outside your windows, dear one. Amazingly beautiful!
