It will be interesting to see what's left to show on the 27th of October - hope springs eternal!<br />leavesnbloom - I think sometimes our fall flowers have to be so brash to compete with our fall display of leaves - enjoyed seeing all your berries.<br />Lisa - so much fun when things happen by accident.<br />K&V - thanks - getting a little better with practice. Have a feeling I'll be putting folks to sleep once I get more confident with my creature photos.<br />Carol - Still looking for my first crysalis! The butterflies are mad for the heptacodium - as are the bees - won't be too much longer until they're gone.<br />David/Melanie & Family - many thanks!<br />Rose - the same thing had happened to me - and what a delightful accident. That being said, there's probably at least 3 other perennials that I have in the garden that I probably should treat the same way. The only thing is....will I remember?!<br />Joy, great to hear from you and thank you! Using a Panasonic DMC-ZS7 - it's not love at first sight - getting used to it, but getting better all the time.Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-54945095530940184442010-09-27T13:42:19.089-04:002010-09-27T13:42:19.089-04:00Hi Barb, You are so right about the similarities b...Hi Barb, You are so right about the similarities between the hemlock and the goldenrod.

I have to ask what is the new camera you are using ? I am always curious about other bloggers cameras ;-)<br />The Monarch picture is gorgeous as are all the others .. but I find it so hard to get the Monarchs to settle long enough to take their pictures .. I have a cultivar of goldenrod in my front garden .. it behaves itself very well there : )<br />I think there is a cultivar for everyone in that group ? winkwink<br />JoyCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-47932916397088289242010-09-23T22:26:19.333-04:002010-09-23T22:26:19.333-04:00Beautiful photo of the Monarch!

My native asters were looking rather ratty this summer, so I cut them back, which turned out to be a lucky accident because they are now standing straight and tall.<br /><br />Queen Anne's Lace is one of my favorite wildflowers, and I love it in all stages, including the little "birds nests" you show here.<br /><br />I have trouble distinguishing goldenrod before it blooms, too; I'm always glad in the fall that I didn't cut too much of it down.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-10684130050187814592010-09-22T23:20:58.529-04:002010-09-22T23:20:58.529-04:00Nice post!

I'm always posting pictures of berries and things as our scottish native flowers are quite plain compared to North American ones.

Generally I let them romp and flop about but have begun cutting them down to size in a few places. I can't wait for them to bloom here!
