I love that Culver's root. I planted a couple this year.

Thanks for visiting Mamma Mia Days even when I've not been a good visitor to Prairie Rose's Garden. I vow to do better. My dad died in July, thus I was thrown for a loop but am doing well now.<br /><br />The Sumac is beginning to show fall color here in Zone 4. It's hard not to take pictures of the purple thistle blooms...they're pretty. I luv the look of tall grasses swaying in the breeze, even if it makes the photo less than perfect. <br /><br />If you have too many raindrops there by you, please send some up north to us. Dry, dry here.<br /><br />Nice to be in touch with you again. Hopefully, I'll stick with blogging this time.<br /><br />Fondly, donnadonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-77978826547730106412011-08-28T09:22:18.614-05:002011-08-28T09:22:18.614-05:00I'm sure that everything seems to look quite f...I'm sure that everything seems to look quite fresh again after those welcome rains.

But Coconut may want to go, too:) I'm learning to enjoy thistles, as long as they know their place.<br /><br />Lisa, I do hope the rains made it your way--everything looks so much better here now.<br /><br />Tina, If you have some 'Cosmic Orange' seeds again, I'd love to have some. Mine didn't return this year for some reason.<br /><br />Monica, The grasses really are pretty, but trying to take photos when the wind was blowing was pretty hard. I do like Culver's Root, too.<br /><br />Linda, I didn't mind at all having my walk cut short by rain--we've had very little the past month. All my goldenrod is volunteer.<br /><br />Joey, I wish I could take walks like this more often, but for me it means driving several miles first.<br /><br />Rosey, I don't like thistles in my flowerbeds, but I do enjoy watching the finches devour them.<br /><br />Gail, The Culver's Root impressed me, too; I hope the rain found you!<br /><br />Sweetbay, I'm mulling over where I could add one, too.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-72391287760802724892011-08-24T16:41:27.965-05:002011-08-24T16:41:27.965-05:00The Culver's Root doesn't look unhappy abo...The Culver's Root doesn't look unhappy about the lack of rain!

The yellow flower looks like woodland sunflower, Helianthus divaricatus (don't let the name fool you, it grows in sun, too). My goldenrod is at about the same stage as yours. I love obedient plant and have a HUGE clump of it, because I've been meaning to divide it for the past 2 years... And the Culver's root is gorgeous! One of my faves, which I hope to grow myself soon.

I hope that it is enough to give everything a thorough soaking.<br /><br />My Sumach is turning, and it is not dry.....so, for me, it is a mark of autumn on the doorstep.<br /><br />We have an abundance of wildflowers this year.....I incluse the thistles in my patch (the copse). I have to say, in all honesty, that I actually love them. They are such a pretty colour.<br /><br />Tku for showing us the changes in your landscape.<br /><br />I do so hope Sophie has a lovely walk with you next time.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-21853246984251592052011-08-24T08:05:52.201-05:002011-08-24T08:05:52.201-05:00Rose how wonderful to get some needed rain.
