Sarah's Garden Fall Blooms

"I have a few bunches of lowers I would greatly have sent you — My Musk Clusters Rose has been and still is blooming freely …"

Letter 9/14/1859

Flowers still actively in bloom through the fall are the aster, zinnia, musk mallow, petunia, geranium, and salvia. Others such as the larkspur and California Poppy, have reseeded and send a second crop of foliage and bloom for the season. Much work is done in the garden to get it ready for winter.
