Beautiful flowers. I love that planter, too. I almost had to buy one when I saw it... :BigGrin:

No, Sheri. I titled it that way and moved it out of the summer bloomers topic because Fall has officially arrived. I locked up the summer flower topic... :wink5:

this is how I really know it's fall.   The camelias start blooming.

Sure can't tell with the weather the way it is, can you, Sheri? :giggle: Aunt Bonnie's camellia's are blooming, too... :grinnnn:

My mums are bursting with color out there in the front bed. I haven't taken a picture yet because I need to weed it... :Blush:

I always need to weed.  Maybe next spring I'll just plant weeds.

Love the camelia.  I always need to weed too. I get lazy at the end of the season and don't do much weeding.  It just gets so old.

My mums sure are bright and colorful in the front flower bed. I don't know what happened to the other two colors, but these sure are popping...






I started out with just four inch potted mums... :grinnnn:

Wow. In FULL Bloom. Beautiful. When did you start them? How long did it take for them to get that large?

Beautiful Dianna!  You know, those bushes are big enough that you could take cuttings next year and start new bushes for another bed.  :ThumbUp:

Barb, these were four inch potted plants when I got them. They have grown that much. :grinnnn: A couple didn't, though, so I posted about them in my mum topic. :wink5: They are a year old now. They grew that much throughout the summer...

Sarah, if I had to keep them in the house through the winter, I don't know if the cuttings would survive me... :(

Mums are always a breath of spring in the fall.  Very pretty.

At the Food Lion in Roanoke, where my sister lives, they are 99 cents for a big pot.  They're $8.00  here for the same size.

Very pretty, Jenn! :ThumbUp:

Are those morning glories on the fence? That rose is a beautiful color... :grinnnn:

Pretty rose Jennifer.  I can appreciate the pretty colors of morning glories but don't like them.  I mistakenly put out a few seeds one time and can't get rid of the darn things.  Around here they will choke out other plants if left to run wild.

I know  you guys are probably sick of me and my pansys but I finally got them planted.
