Happy Flower Friday!
We are enjoying a brief spell of cool weather in the Northeast part of Pennsylvania and it's wonderful to comfortably work in the garden.
Sue sent this wonderful photo of her hydrangea:

Sue says this is her last rose of summer. Fortunately they made it through the storm:
My moon vine began blooming last week. Here is the first flower that bloomed:
These are the seed pods from Balsam that I talked about before. The touch me not seeds aren't quite completely ready to harvest but I'll show you the seeds when they are!

Our celosia or cock's comb haven't been performing well this year. I noticed that my neighbors aren't either. Have you had a good crop of that annual?
Our pretty hibiscus continues to please us. It just keeps on blooming!
Decades ago, HGTV used to have some wonderful gardening shows. This is a pretty common form of a variegated hosta. But as soon as I saw this plant this morning, I realized I had to work on it. I recalled an old HGTV show that taught that when you see green leaves forming on a plant like this, you have to cut them out right away or the plant will become solid green. That's on today's list in the garden!
Have a safe and happy weekend!
A lovely flower show! I was just reading about moon vines. (Where? Random access memory kicks in: The Quilted Garden by Jane Sassaman.)
