photos taken September 9th 2023 of pink hibiscus and purple petunias.

This week my hibiscus has finally bloomed (only one flower, but it still counts!).  And the planter-box flowers that have so far survived the ravages of the local squirrel are grateful for the cooling temperatures and starting to perk up with more pretty flowers again.

Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years continues to remind that this is the weird year without plums or lavender.  (And also the year that I didn’t take the time to put as much in my planter boxes as I usually like.)

Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years gives some reminders about possible coming fall attractions, like blanket flowers, sedums, and maybe a cyclamen flower or two.

…This week my garden is messy, but still pretty when you look close.
