Having battled through the overly dry and often windy summer, the garden is still giving us lots of flowers. By ‘us’ I mean us gardeners joining Cathy on her Monday meme.
I have used my special vase to accommodate them all. At the white end I have the daisy types I love so much: Cosmos ‘Purity’ and ‘Cupcake’, Leucanthemella serotina, Sanguisorba canadensis, and a late flowering Aster. It has changed its name and now I have forgotten which variety it is. 
Moving towards the yellow there is Coreopsis ‘Moonbeam’ next to Helianthus salicifolius, fresh orange Calendula, Zinnia from a ‘Giant Dahlia mix’ packet of seed.
To the pinkier tones of Aster, now known as Symphyotrichum lateriflorum ‘Lady in Black’, Dahlia ‘Totally Tangerine’, Persicaria affinis, Persicaria Firetail and Dahlia ‘Arabian Night
It sounds as if this wet weather is with us all week. Wellies and anoraks at the ready!
Have a great week wherever you are. D.

Your flowers have coped well with your weather Dorris – so many lovely colours still 🙂 Hope the sun comes out again soon!
Thanks Cathy, I do hope so. It’s a very soggy October so far
What a fantastic way to display your blooms. Each one is perfect. i’m drawn to the cosmos and the gorgeous Dahlia ‘Arabian Night.’
Love that vase/s! Gorgeous display.
Thank you. I have had it for over 20 years: Vase dAvril by Tsetse associates
I really like the way the colour scheme moves from the white on the left to the darker tones on the right, and It’s good to see your wiggly vase again. I wasn’t going to order any more dahlias next year but I have admired Totally Tangerine just once too often to resist…! Thanks for sharing today, Dorris
Dahlias are so delightful at this time of year but I know what you mean about not ordering more. They’re like sweets irresistible to some.
I am going to order David Howard and Totally Tangerine though, and cull some of my others
I have TT and love it as for mr Howard i need to look him up
Love your nature table 🌺🌷🌸
Thanks so much
and about half of them are white! (My favorite)
