Bloomin’ Tuesday

It’s that time of the week when we show off what’s blooming in our gardens today.  To join in this week or to see other posts please visit msgreenthumbs.  The weather has been getting cooler over the past week or so and my garden is starting to slow down a bit after a long hot summer.   Cooler weather is great news for the standby fall flowers.   I planted orange, white & mauve pansies in my red wash tub to go with a lavender mum planted this past spring. 

Hey where did this guy come from!  He’s not orange, mauve or white!  However he does look great combined with the orange ones so he can stay for now.   :)

How’s this for an interesting combination.  The plain orange pansy sets off the spot of orange in the center of this mauve beauty.  

If you look close you can spot the orange & mauve pansies behind this pure white beauty.  Every garden needs a spot of white here & there.

Boy these lavender mums sure are taking their sweet time opening!  You can just makeout the color on the some of the larger buds now.  What’s blooming in your garden today?
