The weather is turning cold this week and I wanted to get a few more garden shots before the color fades completely. I am not sure how the caterpillars will do--I just have to leave that in God's hands.

dahlias
As I'm sure you can tell, I really like dahlias. They are so easy to grow and show such wondrous color. Even in this last month of autumn, they are still showing their lovely faces. I'm convinced that they will still bloom until I start seeing snow on the top of the mountain.
Of course, the blooms don't last forever, but I thin the spent blooms have their own sort of beauty.

faithful colors
My garden is quite confused at the moment. After a few cool, autumny nights, the weather is back to summer and my jasmine and pokers are trying to bloom again.
Of course, they won't last but I can always count on my lovely gazenias and a few other flowers to provide color just about year round. The purple Russian sage has popped up everywhere this year and is a lovely contrast to the other colors.

Tupare Gardens
This is the entrance to the house build by the Matthews family on the grounds of Tupare Gardens. You can click here for the history of the house and some photos of the inside.
Visitors can tour the house for free.
Tupare was once a family home and garden. Today, it is cared for by the Regional Council. I love the variety of hydrangea petals and sepals.
The other flowers are just as pretty.

A wee bit of garden color
I have every stage of growth on my lupins.
These are the flowers on Hubby's potato plants.
My dahlias are blooming but El Nino has kept things so dry that they seem to be struggling.
