I just have the common yellow sunflower growing in my garden...the Red Sun type is absolutely breathtaking!! The Sedum is always a fun plant to have in the Fall:-) Hugs!
Wow! The autumn-colored sunflowers are so gorgeous. Yours is a real beauty. I didn't plant any sunflowers this year, but seeing yours makes me wish I did!
The before and after sunflower pics are fantastic! I especially love the unopened bud. That really is a great color. No wonder you love AJ. It's looking gorgeous! Zoey, I looked at the planter pics up close and don't know the names of most of the plants. All foliage plants as far as I can tell. The only one I know is coleus. There's a grass too. I'd be very happy to send you the pics I took of the planters if you'd like to look closer. I knew you'd love the orange dahlia and coleus together. It was a perfect combination. That was one of my favorites, even though I'm a pink girl :)
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

ReplyDeleteYa gotta love sunflowers they are so cheery. I had several this summer that the birds planted for me, but I like yours much better.

I bought some red sunflower seeds to try next spring. They sure look pretty! Hope some of them grow.
