Happy ninety-seventh day of summer to all who celebrate. Yes, I know summer is over, but I am in denial. My garden is still in bloom, and this photo of the "Princess Alexandra of Kent" from David Austin is a perfect example. I hope its beauty brings a smile to your face 🌱 😊 #bloomscroll #KrollManor

Happy ninety-sixth day of summer (or third bonus day of summer since it's now fall). A little garden irony. This is the "Summer Surprise" rose and *SURPRISE!* it didn't bloom all summer. Oh, these wacky plants. 😆 🌱

Happy ninety-second day of summer to all who celebrate. This flower is the "Fiji Eleganza" extravaganza of color. I tend to buy plants for random reasons. I bought this one because I want to visit Fiji and because I like Fiji Water 😂. It has been a reliable bloomer.

Happy ninety-first day of summer to all who celebrate. This is the "Pop Art" rose. I love it because of its multicolor blooms. No bloom is ever quite the same. This is part of the "artists" section of garden, with "Maurice Utrill," "Chihuly," "Frida Kahlo," and others nearby. 🌱

Happy ninetieth day of summer to all who celebrate. This is the "Silver Years" dahlia against a backdrop of many of the other dahlias I have shared this summer. I am hoping the mild weather continues because it's always sad to me when the growing season ends. 🌱

Happy eighty-ninth day of summer to all who celebrate. This is "Desdemona," a David Austin rose that's part of my English garden bed. I was so happy to be able to visit the David Austin garden in the UK recently and to get so much inspiration. 🌹 🌱

Happy eighty-seventh day of summer to all who celebrate. Hovering over the garden like a little ball of sunshine is this "Teasing Georgia" rose. I have a plant on each side of my garden path and my goal is to eventually trellis them to have a fun garden feature. 🌱

Happy eighty-fifth day of summer to all who celebrate. It's an underwater journey today to visit "Poseidon," one of the 300some roses in my garden. This has turned into a favorite because it is a prolific bloomer. The blooms are even fun to look at as they fade.

It's hard to believe it, but today the #KrollManor era turns 10. This last decade has flown by. And there have been a *lot* of changes made in the past ten years. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has helped turn this house into a home over the past decade.

"Teasing Georgia" (and David Austin rose) enjoying some November sun. The goal is to get an arbor and have the two create a stunning feature along the pathway through my garden. #KrollManor 🌱

Happy fortieth day of summer to all who celebrate. These blooms are from a dahlia that was gifted to me -- and the gifter didn't know the variety. So I call it Dahlia 1 on my plant marker. It just feels like summertime happiness 😊. 🌱

The dahlias did not manage to survive the past few nights of sub-freezing temps... so their season is done. But somehow they are still kind of beautiful even in their frozen state. (And I am already counting down the days til spring) #KrollManor 🌱
