    Oakleaf Hydrangea and Seed Pods

    LAST UPDATED: January 31, 2019 PUBLISHED: September 1, 2015 By Pam Greer 9 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    A few photos of my late August garden.  

    Oakleaf hydrangea

    As we ease into September, the garden is starting to get it's fall look.  One of my favorite transitions is the oakleaf hydrangea.  This truly is an all season plant in my garden.  It's large, soft floppy heads are changing from white to peach to a soft taupe brown.  I will leave them on the plant and they add interest all winter long.  They are absolutely beautiful when covered in snow.

    Columbine Seed pods

    The columbine seedpods have been left to dry on their spindly stalks.  Encouraged to spread at will.

    Garlic Chive flowers

    The garlic chive flowers continue their show.  I will soon cut these and bring them inside in a vase, believe me, garlic chives don't need any encouragement to spread!

      I love the oak leaf hydrangea, but don't have a lot of success with them. On the other hand I have garlic chives everywhere!!

      Fall is just beginning to set in here. - I think the hydrangea is lovely and the light shining through the petals gives it a very soft feel.

      My hydrangea all have bright, beautiful flowers right now! I love how they dry out when it gets cold and hang on the bushes through the winter.
