I am always game for summer colors. Counting the days now.

Wow. I adore your blooms . They are heavenly.
Thanks so much for stopping . It was a pleasure to see you .
It's always a treat to go and visit new blogging gems thanks to your treasure hunting skills. Thank you Hilary :-)
Hi Hilary :) Thanks for choosing my Salmon Feast as one of the posts of the week. It is a spectacular to experience all the frenzied activity involved.
It's wonderful to see some colourful flowers as a reminder of summer past It is amazing to see how long some of the flowers last. Brave little souls.
I laughed at your purple clump posturing a recognizable gesture. It reminded me of a cartoon I saw of two people entering a cactus covered desert with similar looking protruding appendages . One visitor said to the other ..."Might unfriendly looking country..." ;)
I'll look forward to checking out your other POTW.
Love that last image.
Many thanks once again for the POTW.
those photos feed my soul.
The posts I recognized ARE smashing!

Great images.. The last one really made me laugh. Way to go!
I guess we all feel like that - one finger up - with the onslaught of winter Hilary :-) - Dave
I think your first flower is an Osteospermum. Make of that what you will--might be a better name for your last flower.
Beautiful to see summer colours to brighten our days. However, we are experiencing very mild weather in England. (Thankfully.) My tulips are coming through already! Very muddling for plants as well as us.

I think the unusual cluster says it for a lot of us... LOL Love that you posted it.
Congratulations to the winners this week!!
Love the bright flowers,this was a good way to start my day. Thanks for thinking that my little advent tree was worth putting on posts of the week.
first flower might be a cone flower?
Lovey blooms, the amaranth in the last shot is real unique.
haha the flowers are giving me the bird...lol...

I laughed out loud at your last picture. As usual, very wonderful images, and great picks!

First off, WOW great shots! And thank you so much for sharing Lime's post about our fundraising! (And thanks for your donation too!)
Lots of love from a couple with purple hair in Jersey!
Take 2 - deleted the first because I am SO confused!
Love the sumac giving passersby the finger!
And thank you so much for citing my iPhone photo ..
"Mind" seeing the gorgeous flowers of last season? Mind? Dang, it is a thrill, makes my heart sing.
The photos are just what I needed today.
I always enjoy your recommendations and will be off to read the posts now. Congrats to the picks this week.
Thanks for the good reading material and yes! I love the flower pictures. I find I am especially fond of that last one. I could find many, many places for that plant.
I love photographing flowers. Thanks for all you do to encourage us bloggers.
So nice seeing flowers on this dreary day! More good blogs ... on my way to check them out!
Just love that last photo. Ah yes, there are many that feel the same way about the upcoming 3 months.
Such gorgeous flowers! Lovely to see some colour.
Congrats to everyone on their POTW.
Love the reminder of summer colour, agree with the sentiment in that last flower cluster too.
thank you so much for highlighting my post this week. i'm so grateful simply because it means van and abbe get that much more exposure. you rock, hilary!
Great choices once again, Hilary...and your photos rock, as well!
hugs

I LOVE that photo--- It's such a nice way to illustrate how I feel today :-) Ha!
Thanks for the POTW tips-- I'm always impressed with your selection.
I absolutely love the giving-the-finger flowers. Can you send me any seeds? I want to plant them all over my front lawn.
even when giving the finger to winter you manage to be classy
I hate that about you ;)
thanks for the mention
you always make me feel appreciated
Thank you everyone for stopping by and leaving such kind comments here and at the POTW blogs. Thanks also to Murr Brewster and Steve/Out on the Prairie for identifying those flowers for me. :)
In my part of the world, weather is warmer than usual, too, and we are still enjoying some lingering summer flowers. In your photos, each flower has its own beauty. The magenta flower looks like kind of a daisy or a kind of wild mum seeing from its endurance in spite of the frost.
Thank you for selecting my post for the best photography. I’m grateful for it and pleased about it though I’ve thought kind comments from the visitors are more than enough. Wondrous power of nature helped me create those photos, I think. Being encouraged by this, I’ll keep updating. Please have a visit when you have time.

That last "flower" was a hoot! We've now had two snow falls and our first school closing as the rural roads weren't passable.
I am humbled by your Post of the Week selection. Thank you.
another glorious set of images!
the bright colour is fantastici some of these shots!
beautiful blooms!
That last photo made me laugh!! Congrats to the POTW!
The first thing I thought of when I saw that last photo was..."is she giving us the finger?". Haha. All the photos are spectacular but that last one is a standout for sure. :)
What a great idea for a post. Loved seeing all the warm, vivid colors, especially as I look out on yet another grey, cloudy day, here in BC. Great photos Hilary.
