Not much flowering around here now. A few violas. Thought I should capture some of the foliage and fuzz before they’re gone. Expect mostly seedheads and buds for the next three months.
Bloom day scans: Fuzz and foliage

My monthly efforts with plants and a cheap scanner.
Scan redo
Some folks liked my latest scans. But I was stuck at home with Gimp and PaintShopPro. Here they are now, properly PhotoShopped.
October Garden Bloggers Bloom Day scans
Shrinking pallet and shrinking time. Will have to save the interesting dead stuff for the next four months.
Garden Blogger Bloom Day Scans
A little early. Because I have time now, and maybe not later.
Having recently posted about managing expectations with heucheras (Graham Rice blogs about some tough new introductions coming next year), I thought it might be nice to try to scan them. (There are some heucherallas in the mix, too.) I didn’t dry them off first, so there’s some harsh reflection off the water on the leaves and scanner bed.
Warm blooms.
Pinks and purples.
Grasses. Tough to capture them on a little scanner bed.
GBBD scans and pix: Details, details.
I was in a hurry doing my scans this week. I think they look like crap. (They’re at the end.)
But there are details within each that look OK. So they’re first.
