Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed. - Walt Whitman

It is really starting to look like fall here.  I just love it when the colors start changing.  My brother, Jer, and I stopped here on our way to an auction.  It was so pretty I just had to stop and take some photos.

My girlfriend, Rose, and I stopped here in March to see that post click here.  It is fun to the changes in the season.

Flower bed and sedum chair

This is my annual flower bed.  I like to plant mostly annuals in this bed so I can till it up and plant different flowers in it each year.

This might be the last year for this bed frame. It is starting to fall apart.  This was my bed when I was a kid.  It has been so much fun to have it in my garden.

Each year I plant different sedums in this chair.  To see what it looked like last year, click here.

Celosia

Common name is Cockscomb. The flowers belong to the amaranth family, Amaranthaceae. Cockscomb bloom with a compacted crested head 2-5 inches across, on leafy stems that are 12-28 inches long. The flower's name is suggestive of a rooster's comb. Cockscomb Flower blooms from late summer through late fall.

I just love his variegated one.  I had never seen this before.

Gaillardia, sometimes known as Blanket Flower, can be annuals, biennials, or perennials in our zone 4.  I just love them!
