Much of the garden is showing the wear and tear of a long, active growing season. The Caryopteris incana 'Sunshine Blue' is just reaching the top of its blooming cycle. With the variegated foliage and pale blue/lavender flowers, it doesn't jump out on most days. But today, with the soft light, it brings a sense of light into the jumble around it. The deeply wrinkled bud of the hibiscus, Robert Fleming adds a nice deep magenta nearby.
I have prepared the garden for being away for the next few weeks. Fortunately at this time of year with the plants preparing for cooler weather, there is no need to worry about watering or other duties while I am gone. I wonder what will still be blooming in November?
