The autumn flowers are beginning to bloom. The Sunday bouquet included the flowers of the ‘Royal Standard’ hosta, ‘Autumn Joy’ sedum, and Sweet Autumn Clematis.
I like a white and green bouquet. Here is one I made in 2010, which included hydrangea heads and Sweet Autumn Clematis.
All of our hydranageas but one died back to the ground after last winter’s lower than usual temps. We were afraid they had died completely, but they finally came back. They had no hydrangea blooms this year, as they are “mopheads” that bloom on year old wood. Barring another miserably cold winter, we should have blooms next summer.
The only hydrangea that bloomed this year was ‘Quick Fire.’ It bloomed because it is one that blooms on new wood. I would like to get others that bloom on new wood. I really missed my hydrangea blossoms this summer.
I got side-tracked thinking about my hydrangeas…this is supposed to be a menu post. Here’s the plan for this week. Temps are supposed to be in the 90s, so I’m trying to stay away from the oven, with the exception of Sunday.

Your flowers are beautiful. It has been so hot here that I think most of my garden is toast.
Everything on your menu sounds delicious. Have a good week!
