Hello gpoders!
The end of summer is definitely bitter and sweet. Slowdowns and cooldowns are welcome, but we must say goodbye to the vibrancy and topic of Peak Summer Garden. However, the final show before fall doesn’t have to be disappointed, with Ronda Morin’s garden in West Grove, Pennsylvania, a prime example. Ronda frequently shares vibrant plants in her lush bed (check out some of her previous submissions here: Spring blooming in Ronda’s garden, a guest in Ronda’s garden, falling in Ronda’s garden, Roundup of Ronda’s hellebore).
Hello! I surround some photos of what’s going on in my garden. As another poster mentioned, we are old, so we can’t take care of so many gardens. We are torn all the roses in the arbor. That area may return to grass. Ah, the season of our lives!
Blooming in southern Magnolia (Magnolia Grandiflora, Zones 7-9), can attract pollinators if possible.
My favorite plant, Hardy Begonia (Begonia Grandis, Zones 6-7), hates my husband.
This photo shows the beautiful underside of Begonia.
In front is a very fragrant white stone lily. I can’t remember the cultivar.
Midnight Marvel Hibiscus (Hibiscus’ “Midnight Marvel”, Zones 5-9) was filmed in the evening, so the flowers began to close.
Thank you very much to Ronda for this gorgeous update! You have a lovely plant palette like this, and it’s a joy to see your designs every time.
