Celebrating September's Plenty

bouquet 1

This is a lovely month for floral arranging! The days and nights are cooler, and the plants have had plenty of sun and rain. Today's vase includes annuals and perennials; pinks, blues, purples, greens, and a touch of white.

Hosta aequinoctiiantha

First, I included bell-shaped flowers from Hosta of the Equinox (H. aequinoctiiantha).

Sedum spectabile 'Autumn Joy'

A few clusters of Sedum 'Autum Joy' (S. spectabile) called out for inclusion.

Conoclinium coelestinum

Mistflowers (Conoclinium coelestinum) in lavender and white had to be snipped. (The white version is very similar to White Snakeroot, but if you look closely, the flowers are different.)

Zinnia elegans

Zinnias (Z. elegans) pleased the bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and gardener.

Cosmos bipinnatus and Hydrangea macrophylla

And foliage from Cosmos (C. bipinnatus) and Hydrangeas (H. macrophylla) added structure.

Not bad for late-season elements. I'm linking in with In a Vase on Monday, at Rambling in the Garden. Thanks to Cathy for hosting!
