How wonderful to view cheery sunflower faces at the end of summer! Just when I thought any fields of sunflowers in my area had turned to seed, a friend told me where to find these late bloomers. Thanks to Flickr friends, Suzy and Katie, for their encouragement to go photograph the sunflowers even though yesterday was mostly wet, overcast, and windy. Despite the wind and mostly gray sky, it was a joyful time. The sun even showed up for a bit!
The pink Hydrangea bush in my garden is still beautiful in autumn, even though its late-blooms take on a burnished beauty.

Ran outdoors to capture these tiny new buds in diffused sunlight, but now I don't recall their name. Perhaps Coreopsis lanceolata, similar to photo in first comment.
This is from our back yard garden. Late bloomers for sure. They are officially Ipomoea purpurea or 'Moonflower". The color is "Heavenly Blue" I planted seeds in April.
Fresh off the camera and a couple minutes of tweaking...hope you all like it! I do because it was a windy day and I didn't have to deal with mosquitoes ;)
Everywhere I look there are fields of daises which is why they are bombarding my photostream. Close your eyes if you don't like because but I do and I can't promise there won't be more! :-)
Happy Tuesday!!

This late bloomer surprised us by popping up in the empty half-barrel planter that awaits tulip bulbs. A bird dropped the seed, perhaps.
This yukka flower always blooms so late in the year, almost the end of October, and still has these blooms. Nanaimo BC
Above treeline in the Rockies the growing season starts late, particularly where the snow piles up during the winter. Just below Missouri Pass (12,000’/ 3600 m) where the snow can be deep at the end of winter, the peak flowering season occurs in mid-August, a few weeks later than lower and higher elevations. This beautiful meadow has some wonderful floral diversity, including 2 species of paintbrush (red is split-leaf paintbrush, Castilleja rhexifolia; yellow is western yellow paintbrush, C. occidentalis), little elephant head (purple flowers on left, Pedicularis groenlandica), fleabane daisies (purple flowers toward the middle, Erigeron sp), American bistort (Bistorta bistortoides), and at least a couple of species of yellow daisies (aka DYCs).
A close-up look at one if my succulents out in the backyard. I love it when I can find blossoms at this time of year!
Was in the backyard the other day, with camera, just looking to see what I could see.
Was very surprised to see this "bay" azalea, growing under the pine trees, glowing red in the dappled sunlight. All our other azaleas bloomed several months ago, so perhaps this little offshoot, of a nearby larger one, wanted to show off before summer arrives?
I recent photo I took at English Bay ... and made Painterly.

Here's my response to the February 2009 Virtual Sketch Date challenge. I altered the original photograph of Lake Louise by cropping it, flipping it to put the darkest slope on the right, and and altering the original colors. Thanks to Debbie Later for the original image.

Today I begin a short series of shots of Yellow Goat's Beard. I have only ever seen these plants growing at Elk island National Park along the main road that goes through the park, but I would imagine it is grows elsewhere locally.
I missed the point where they were blooming prolifically this year. On the day I took this shot every other plant had already gone to seed, so I suppose that this one was a very late bloomer Tomorrow and the following day will be shots of the flower head that had gone to seed.
Better late than never. This Easter Lily finally decided to bloom. A few weeks late but I'll take what I can get, especially when I almost missed it. There used to be several, and this is the last one, still handing on.
Discovered it this evening and hurried to get some shots since we're supposed to get some rainstorms tomorrow.

While doing a little bird watching today, I was surprised to see several juvenile Eastern Bluebirds at the feeders. It just seems a little late in the year to be seeing them this young.
At least they know were the "good feeders" are, so hopefully they'll keep on coming back!

I don't play by the rules of the game
Some would tell me what to wear, how to look, what to say, how to think
Just want to be who I am
Go where I want, do what I love, explore
No one hurt but don't handle me roughly-I have thorns
I am not a "no name"
But who knows? Some might call me the
Rogue Rose...
- sylvia...sometimes
Anemones bloom late in the season, but I think that they are some of the loveliest flowers of all.

I marvel at this last blooming Daylily - persevering after all the others have gone to bed for the season. Such stalwart blooms are a treasure in my garden.

While doing some yardwork in the backyard the other day, I noticed one of our Easter Lilies was finally blooming. The area it's in is not part of the yard we normally see, so we almost missed it.
They have always been later bloomers in regards to Easter, but there's never really a wrong time for a flower to bloom, right?
Had to grab some shots while it still looked fresh because I wasn't sure how long it had been blooming.
Decided to grab some shots of some flowers blooming in the front yard yesterday in between rain showers.
This Bearded Iris surprised us by blooming so late in the season, when all the others bloomed back in March! And, this is the last bloom on this stalk, still holding on valiantly in spite of rain, probably thinking, "I think I can, I think I can!"
A late bloomer at the beginning of fall. The protrusions on top reminded me of flames shooting outwards. Long live late bloomers!
Our Easter Lilies are late bloomers, always blooming in late May. Not sure it you can still call them Easter Lilies but their timing couldn't be better.
Just in time for Memorial Day. A perfect time to take a moment to remember and honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our country.
