Monday Bouquets: Surprise Flowers

I was yanking the withered remains of the choking morning glory vines off the front fence last week and discovered some little purple flowers that had been hiding at the bottom of the wall.

So of course I rewarded their tenacity by cutting them and bringing them inside.


No idea what they are, though. The yellow is actually asparagus foliage. It's a very cheery yellow, but it does shed a bit.

Also outside, the hollyhocks continue to rage against the dying of the light:


I think our forecasted low of 22 degrees on Wednesday night will be the end for them, however.

I hope you have a lovely Monday, with or without flowers.

Some kind of aster! Very nice. All our fall blooming asters are long gone, but similar in color. And the hollyhock is impressive.

Flowers are Michaelmas daisies a lovely bit of colour at this time. They are tolerant of a light frost.
