Dahlias, Chrysanthemums, Petunias Plus a Bee and a Cat

Happy floral Friday and welcome to "this week in my Maryland garden!"  I love this white, bronze and yellow dahlia and hope we can harvest a few more flowers before our first hard frost sets in.

 The purple dahlias are still going strong, to the bee's delight and mine.

The yellow-bronze chrysanthemums are nearing the end of their bloom time but hopefully we'll have some peach daisy-like chrysanthemum blooms soon.

Moose the cat escaped (we'd prefer that she were solely and indoor cat but she wants the best of both worlds) and took refuge under the rose bushes. Never fear, she's safely back inside now. How does this photo relate to floral Friday? You can see some lantana blooms in the far background.

The red petunias are particularly striking now that fall's here. I hope you enjoyed this mini tour of our Maryland garden! May God bless you!
