Not a lot blooming these days in my gardens; a few determined roses, and stalwart hydrangeas continuing their chameleon transition. Today I feature the last of the Rudbeckia with a few stems of sage and oregano in a handmade ceramic vase dating back to the 1960’s.
Rudbeckia fulgida ‘Goldstrum’, Origanum majoricum, Salvia officinalis.
To my friends and followers on WordPress, please accept my apology for not responding to your posts. I will be back in the swing soon, and look forward to seeing what you’ve been up to!

Rudbeckia make such a statement, don’t they? I have had little success with the perennial varieties but the annuals have done well. Thanks for sharing yours
Thanks again, Cathy!
Nice shots, Lindy! 🙂
Roses are about all we have, except for a couple of others. Leaves are falling from the trees.
Rain and wind are making a colorful though chaotic mess everywhere around me. Ah well, it’s all part of natures cycle!
So gorgeous1
Thank you!
That is a wonderful burst of colour … and I love your pottery vase. Rudbeckia is such a rewarding flower and I’ve realised that I haven’t got any in the garden. So now I find myself with at least 5 packets of seed for next year. Whoops!
Last burst of summer from these gardens! Once you get some started they will keep expanding and create a gorgeous blanket of bright yellow from mid-summer to early fall. Good luck!
How lovely. You are lucky to have rudbeckia still in flower. A bit of sunshine in dark November.
All gone now!
