There are even some new summer flowers for this year in autumn, and some perennials flowering as well.

To begin with… there are still common poppy flowers in the garden. Friends are loving it.

There is no autumn without pot marigolds or calendulas… 😉

My personal little autumn sun…

Clematis growing and blooming as well. Our first ever clematis plants, planted in summer this year. Yet another new favourite… now I would love to have many different types of clematis flowers.

Our clematis is growing by an oak tree.

And there are still many annual mallow flowers at their prime…

There is no summe… yeah well, I planted cosmos seeds this year as well, but there’s been only few flowers – all the green parts of the plant have grown, but not much blooming this year. I think it’s the a bit strange summer and the spot where I planted them, both. I planted them by the ditch by the woods – that was the only place I could squeeze them in this year. 😀

Shrubby cinquefoil is flowering this autumn as well.

This year we have finally succeeded in growing sunflowers! We’ve tried to grow sunflowers already in the summers of 2015 and 2016, and last year we thought that we should start the pre-growing earlier. But… we didn’t pre-grow them this year at all, just planted the seeds directly into the ground. We think it’s the soil – this year we used both fresh soil and the fertile soil in the places where we put our grass clippings and some leaves. Worked like a charm. 🙂

Candies… There is no autumn without clarkia amoena or godetia flowers.

And there is still at least one peony poppy flower.

Dahlias growing and blooming. Our first ones ever these, too. Planted in spring this year, and new favourites again…

Mellow…

Cactus dahlia. How charming!
