Thanks goes to Cathy at Words and Herbs blog for hosting her second annual Week of Flowers, where fellow bloggers have shared daily posts of flowers and gardens to give a dose of cheer to those in northern climes, where the short days this time of year are often dark and dreary. This is the final day of sharing the green and flowery profusion of the summer months. Open to all, feel free to join in by clicking the link above, or simply to see links to what others are sharing.

Eliza Waters 
Thank you for this sunny and warm picture on a freezing cold night (2F in MN right now)! What are the orange flowers on the left?
Whew, that’s cold! Arctic blasts, brrr. Glad to provide a bit of warmth to your day. 🙂 The plant is Bidens… this one had a lovely honey-scent.
Beautiful clumps of bright colour in your garden.
Thank you, Anne. It was a fun exercise, revisiting the beauty of the summer season.
A lovely glimpse of your garden again Eliza. 😃 Thanks for joining in! 🤗
Thank you, Cathy. A great week! ❤
Certainly a flowery profusion in your garden, Eliza! So nice to see your pictures this week. Have an excellent week!
Thank you, Cathy… it’s been fun!
A breath of warm spring air! All those colors — except for the evergreens, everything is so dull now…
Thank you, Barbara. The lack of light and color can feel oppressive this time of year. I’m grateful for the evergreens for their bit of color in the landscape. 🙂
What a beautiful way to end! Love that drift of colors.
Thank you, Laurie. What a difference a few months make, eh?
You bet!
Boy, it’s really noticeable how much higher the sun is in the sky! Brings me right back to summer…..who needs a lightbox! 😉
🙂 A bit of sunshine is welcome on this gloomy day. x
……and we are ending our stroll through Eliza’s lovely gardens…thank you!
Thank you, Alice! 🙂
Oh no! Not already the last day!!
Beautiful gardens you have. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Dale. It has been a fun week. 🙂
For us too!
Love it! And much needed during these cold, gray days . . .
Thank you, Kay. Happy holidays!
Such a pretty garden, Eliza! I’ve enjoyed seeing your flowers again.
Thank you, Susie. It has been a fun meme before we settle down into winter.
Lovely cheerful flowers Eliza!
Thank you, Agnes!
I love seeing panoramic views of your garden, Eliza!
Thank you, Kris. I really should take more of those, but I end up focusing on individuals it seems!
Oh these wonderful images are cheering me up every day.
Glad to know that, Karina. I’ll miss seeing everyone’s contribution tomorrow, but it was a great week for revisiting those halcyon days.
🙂
This scene is the very definition of uplifting. Sending my congratulations to the gardener, the designer and the photographer!
Thank you very much, Susan! x
Hi, Eliza! Hope you’re doing well! This picture is so pretty. Such a perfect storybook setting 💐❤️
Thank you, Isha… yes, very well, thanks. I do miss my gardens this time of year however. The world is gray and brown, all dormant, waiting for spring. 😉
I can’t wait to see what colours you discover in the gray and brown winter too! 💛
Yes, thanks, there is beauty to be found in each season. 🙂
Delightful viewing on an icy cold day!
Glad it brightened your day, Belinda. We need it this time of year… stay warm!
A cheerful garden with lots of colour. We do get bright days when the sun brings out mellow tones on buildings. Of course my garden is asleep!
Thank you, Diana. I really need a good daily dose of sunshine this time of year!
Oh soooo pweedy 😊😉😊
🙂 Thank you!
I could picnic here!!!
You certainly could and would be most welcome! 🙂
Love it!!!
What a great slice of colour! What are the orange flowers bottom left? Coreopsis?
I tried to remember … at first I thought it was an annual Bidens, but considering, it may well be a (not long-lived )Coreopsis. I succumb to impulse-buying all the time!
A beautiful collection … our flowers are very long gone! These are a nice reminder.
Thank you, Denise! We’re already dreaming of spring planting. 🙂
The perfect garden and lovely photo!!🙂
Thank you, S!

Beautiful flowers. Here is Aussie Brisbane we are into Summer, but it is raining almost non stop. So nice to see so much of Beautiful flowers. Thank Eliza ❤ ❤ ❤
Thank you very much! Hope the sun comes out soon. 🙂
Lovely and cheerful – here in eastern KwaZulu-Natal we are in a stretch of very cool temps, constantly overcast with lots of rain. Grateful for the rain but very nice to see the brightness in your photo!
Thank you, Carol. Endless gray days subdue the mood, no matter the season. Glad you found the series cheering. 🙂
