Just looked it up its apparently cabbages, which sounds weird but you learn something new every day! I also added some pansies too. I pulled out all the pink flowers and the white geraniums, but left all the white flowers and vinca vine. Here are what my flowers looked like mid-summer for a refresher. This year instead of completely starting over I slowly transitioned my boxes by pulling out the tired flowers and incorporating new. Some of my flowers toward the end of summer (Septemberish) start to look scraggly, leggy, and their time is just done. I actually did a few versions of these boxes this year but didn’t snag photos in time to share the first version. I think we have already had 2 or 3 nights of frost here in Michigan? You never know what you are going to get with the fall flower season here! ![]() Have I mentioned that trick before? A twin fitted sheet fits perfectly and gently over my window boxes when frost is a threat. Although the nursery owner warned me they aren’t as hardy as the cabbage, so I have been careful to cover them up with a fitted sheet on chillier nights. ![]() I also added these gorgeous scarlet Celosia this year. I stuck to more purple and burgundy tones for something different. I skipped the mums again this year (they never seem to make it long in my window boxes) and went with cabbage like last year. ![]() However, I did have time to quickly shoot my purple and burgundy fall window boxes yesterday while the sun was shining. I’m a little behind on my Wednesday post, a little behind on my fall decorating, and well and just a little behind on life in general! But that’s ok it’s 2020 and nothing has really gone according to plan this year. ![]()
