Those Golden Days of September
Ahhh September! My favorite month is golden!
Squash flowers are golden yellow, prettier than squash itself. Did you know you can cook up the flowers? Yes you can and no I haven’t.
Tiger approved of last year’s garden full of yellow and orange and gold.
Including Mums, the poster child of the fall garden,
and Rudbeckia, the name I prefer to ‘black-eyed-susan’ – can you guess why? (I also don’t like calling a kitchen turntable a ‘lazy susan’ – go figure!)
I DO like the name of these beauties – Kismet Orange Coneflowers – also from last year’s garden. They’re perennials but they didn’t return this year and I feel slighted.
They paired nicely with Dark Knight Bluebeard which did come back this year.
The bees are grateful.

Edible squash blossoms just prove that anything is delicious if deep fried or chocolate coated.
Agreed! 😊
All very beautiful photos, Susanne! The second photo is so perfect. ❤️🥰
Thanks so much, John!
You’re welcome, Susanne! ❤️
You really know how to photograph flowers to bring out the best in them, Susanne, wow! I agree that Rudbeckia is a better name, and now I know what they really are! Those Kismet orange coneflowers are spectacular. Glad you got a few shots of them. I would feel slighted too! The pic of Tiger sitting contentedly in the garden is adorable.
Oh thanks so much for your lovely comment, Terri! I love taking pictures of flowers! 🌼🌼 And there’s nothing wrong with calling them black-eyed susans, unless your name is Susanne! 😁 I LOVED those beautiful coneflowers and have no idea why they didn’t come back! Maybe I’ll try again next year.

Lovely pics
Thank you. 😊
Nice pics! You show your garden well!
Aw thank you so much!
Wonderful photos, of your lovely garden! 🌺
Thank you so much. 🙂
Gorgeous photos of magnificent flowers! I wanted to plant coneflowers but we were afraid they’d take over the garden….
Thank you so much! I wish my coneflowers had taken over, but they failed to return! They were the most gorgeous orange flowers I think I’ve ever seen!
Beautiful floral photography 😀
Thank you so much! 🙂
Golden indeed, Susanne.
Thanks, Don. 🙂
We visited our friend Yvette’s parental home just outside NYC…they had a massive garden and we picked fresh squash blossoms which she fried up and wow wow wow….
So you tried squash blossoms! How wonderful! I’ll have to try them myself! 🙂 🙂
They are amazing…you can “stuff” them with goat cheese, then dip them in a light batter and pan fry…deliciious! I will send you a pic!
Your flower photos are so lovey as is your garden.
Thank you so much! 🙂
September is my favourite month too, and you’ve captured its golden hues beautifully!
