September Blooms

From Murray, Kentucky in the southern tip of Western Kentucky - growing zone 7a.

It's time for September Bloom Day so I'll show you my blooms:

Lantana can take the summer heat. I love these red and yellow colors in this lantana. 

The Yellow Swallowtail is gorgeous on the lantana.

 In addition to the lantana, you can see a few leaves from a Nasturtium (no blooms) then some white Verbenia blooms at the top of the pic. 

Some of my Petunias are still in bloom thanks to my feeding. 

I paused the feeding while the temps were 100 degrees' but now that the temps are cooling down, I have started feeding again. 

Verbenia that reseeded from last year is spilling over the back walkway. 

This gorgeous Dahlia was blooming in my garden this week. I held it in front of a giant elephant ear to get this pic. This is my second year to grow Dahlias and I thought I just wanted pink ones. I have certainly changed my mind after looking at this stunning color. 

This is a new variety of Coreopsis (Tickseed) for me. I have had coreopsis for years but after the December flash freeze, my old coreopsis didn't survive. 

Two hummers are still visiting the feeders. I know they will be leaving soon.

 Vincia is still producing blooms.

Liriope purple blooms

A red Canna bloom in one of my flower pots.

My banana tree and elephant ears don't have blooms but are huge.

Thanks for stopping by to see my September blooms - Judy.
