End of Summer View

 

Bugs and Flowers Mosaic

It is the beginning of the last week of summer 2013. Can you believe it!!  I am supposed to be out cutting the grass this afternoon but I wanted to show you some of the late summer blooms that are in the Sandbox garden.   I love this showy variety of cosmo called Pink Pom Pom in the top left corner.    I spotted under a shrub the colchicum flowers.   I never know when they will show up as one day there is nothing there and the next they are in bloom.  The rest of the pictures are showing you that the bees are still busy gathering pollen.

I am joining Mosaic Monday with Mary at DearLittleRedHouse.   I hope you have a great week.

Hi Val
I like the pom-pom cosmo, and I saw my colchicums starting to peek through yesterday. A lot of wasps are on the flowers too.
Mary has cancelled this week, thought you might like to know.

I was out for most of the morning looking for the last bits of color. I actually found more than I thought I would.

As always, your mosaics are so beautiful, Valerie.

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.

Such a pretty late summer mosaic of garden beauty. I picked to sweetpeas this afternoon. I think they are done. ;(

Gorgeous variety of summer blooms Valerie -- I was lucky and my husband mowed this weekend so I don't have to. :)
