September blooms
I do love the sedum Autumn Joy colour this year. I guess they needed the baking summer to really bring the colour along. I do recall last year they were a bit muddier in hue. Or was I just distracted by other chores?
Or even more probably, I look at flowers for their vase potential more. Flowers every Thursday for my market friends means that I have to start looking around on Wednesday and see what can fill a vase.
Last week it was sunflowers. And two Gertie Jeykll roses for Manu and Isabelle (goat’s cheese and honey sellers respectively).
This week it’s a collection of sedums, cosmos, agastache and the flowering pannicles of my pannicum grass. That was an Andrew tip. They are a bit too tall right now, I’ll move them down to be closer to the sedums and cosmos tomorrow morning before I drive up.

I love the pink of these sedums. It’s a pink that somehow seems to say, “This is as much pink as I can manage on this hot, dry mountain, so, appreciate me”.
And I do.

These sedums are definitely my favourite colour. Dusky and complicated and rich.
