Bloomscrolling--what's in bloom where you are?

Just saw this while hiking in the Mt. Charleston area of Nevada, at around 7,500 feet.

The Mojave Prickly Poppy.

Here in England the apple trees are bending under the weight of a bumper harvest, guess our near draught has forced them. Blackberries also in season.
And a garden nearby is full of gladiolus, mostly red, but a lovely white with hint of pink

All very beautiful!

@AndyD I love Gladiolus blossoms.

@rustyfingers A very beautiful shade of pink.

Love those September roses

My first attempt at mixed potted flowers. I’m very pleased - nicer and much cheaper than the baskets at the garden center.

Badly overgrown now but I can’t bear to trim them.

The strappy plants in the center are Japanese iris. Anyone know how to get them through the winter?

@Steve-Miller Oooh, that's really nice! Yes, container plantings from the nurseries are really expensive.

It's official. The county I live in is experiencing an extreme drought.
