Favorite Fall Florals
Not this year’s garden. I didn’t plant any new fall flowers, and previous promised perennials don’t always come back; their high prices mean I sometimes hold a grudge.
Still, they live on in my archives, especially this favorite: Kismet Orange Coneflower.
I really should give it another chance.
If only for the bees.

How gorgeous are these? xx
Thank you!! ☺️😊
Wow!
☺️☺️
Wow, these cone flowers are so colorful, Susanne! It is nice when they come back! Are the yellow flowers with the purplish centers also a cone flowers? Those are stunning too!
Thanks, Terri! I really loved these brilliant orange ‘kismet’ coneflowers (also known as echinacea) and so did the bees! I remember they were expensive, so I was disappointed when they didn’t come back! I may try again next year. I think the yellow ones were black-eyed susans (rudbeckia) and they didn’t come back either. Oh well. I enjoyed them for a couple of seasons.
Oh yes, rudbeckia! I need to make a note. I had some that I bought a couple of years ago and planted. Didn’t grow back. Echinacia come in several color varieties. We see the wild ones in June and July here.
Fantastic, beautiful photos, Susanne!! ☺️❤️
Thanks, John!
You’re very welcome Susanne. ☺️
The coneflowers are gorgeous, especially when viewed on a miserable wet day in London!
Thanks, Sarah! We’ve been cold and rainy here too!
Sorry – there was an issue with the server and my comment seems to have appeared in triplicate!
No problem, Sarah. I’ll delete a couple of them. ☺️☺️
Love to see the Bees! Great photos, Susanne.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete! They really loved the kismet orange coneflowers!
Oh my! These are all so stunning!!!
Thanks so much, Kirstin!
