In honor of my daughter starting kindergarten this week, I promised her that I would do a post of flower photos that she hand picked. I thought about letting her actually take the photos but she still needs some training on that front. Plus, I still need to keep the illusion that what I do is so difficult and no one else can compare.
While I am close to mentally moving on to the changing foliage color of fall, she reminded me that there are still quite a few flowers hanging around. As usual, she is right.
This one is for you my “oh so mature five year old”:
 |
| Boltonia ‘Pink Beauty’ |
 |
| Sedum ‘Matrona’ |
 |
| More Sedum ‘Matrona’ |
 |
| Caryopteris (Bluebeard) ‘Sunshine Blue’ |
 |
| Helenium (Sneezeweed) toppled over |
 |
| Althea (Rose of Sharon) ‘Lavendar Chiffon’ |
 |
| Spirea ‘Anthony Waterer’ |
 |
| Asclepias Incarnata (Swamp milkweed) |
Good girl! She chose lovely summery blooms! Hooray for summer! We are having the best summer weather here in PNW. We suffered enough in May& June, so it’s fair to have summery September.
All very good choices. I particularly like the red stems of that sedum.
She chose well, nice job. Beautiful flowers, I love them all. As do the bees! I am in no way ready for fall, I swear summer just started!
Great picks…the Rose of Sharon is lovely!

Her choices are just perfect!
Nice job on picking the photos.
I always enjoy the flowers of late summer. Your Boltonia looks very nice.
She picked some beauties Mark. She must be so excited to be in kindergarten.You have some lovely sedums in your garden.
Your daughter has a very sharp eye! Wise girl!
Beautiful flowers. Good luck to her in Kindergarten!
Flowers that say SUMMER! Good for her. How was her first day?
