Flower Friday - Goodbye to Summer

With summer ending, Mama and I made one last trip to Sequoia Garden see the Dahlias before they are gone....


She spent lots of time watching this silly bee playing on a flower


 
Ummmm...MAMA, we are here to see the Dahlias!!



There are still dahlias blooming, but it seems there are more brown edges and wilting petals in the garden.

The Bell Flowers are blooming, but their stalks and leaves are mostly brown...


These yellow beauties seem to still be going strong...


...along with this pretty pink edged dahlia


You can see the wilting petals on the back dahlia...



...and on this sunrise colored dahlia...



This poor thing has definitely seen better days...



...but these pink petaled lovelies are looking great!



Mama and I put together a slide show of more flowers too!


 
We get to have snacks while we watch it, right Mama???



 
Click HERE and view on the video onYouTube







The good thing about the end of summer is the circle of life will help this year's blooms fertilize the grounds for more beautiful blooms next summer!



 
Hop aboard and show us the flowers blooming in your corner of the world (If you don't see the link here, please click HERE to go to our Hoppity page)!!

    We have Jasmine growing and lots of flowering shrubs. A town not too far away is having its Cherry Blossom Festival this weekend. Hope it doesn't rain on them.

    Thanks for the pretty flower pictures. Today it turned really cold here in WNY. Perhaps we'll have an early winter.

    They are still so very beautiful! We loved the slide show, but sadly, our mom did not supply us with snacks! (What is WRONG with her?!!?)
    You're the prettiest flower of them all!

    Bailey is loving that last photo of you Dory. Thanks for the beautiful flower pictures
    We are still waiting for our mums to bloom. We are getting a lot of rain and then it is supposed to be sunny 75's next week. Maybe they will kick into gear

    We are excited for fall to arrive with some cooler temps. But we still love seeing all the pretty blooms you found, especially those yellow beauties. And of course, the most beautiful bloom of all is Ms. Dory!!!
