Please drop by http://msgreenthumbjean.blogspot.com to see other late summer blooms.
After the 3 inches of rain from Lee we are back to no rain in the forecast. It has felt a little Fallish with the humidity so low which has been nice. I know Fall is close, not by the calendar, the acorns are beginning to drop and those really fuzzy caterpillars are showing up.
Mexican Bush Sage
Anyone who has followed my blog for any length of time should know I grow the very tall variety of Celosia. I never know how the plumes will look.
I also share the seed, just leave a comment and I'll get back to you.
AND I love how the Pinecone Lily/Shampoo Lily is turning this orangey/red color, perfect timing. Does anyone know if I can cut and dry this? I know it's full of liquid....guess I could shampoo my hair with it :)

Today I am Thankful for the beginning of the season change.

I love that picture in your header!!!
Shampoo your hair? Don't think I've heard that one before. It is a neat looking flower though. That's what I love about your blog, so much variety of flowers and a lot that I've never seen before.
The pinecone ginger is SO neat. Glad fall and rain is reaching you. It's about time for us all.
You know I just love that Mexican Bush Sage! :)
We are loving the touch of the season change in the air here too.

Beauty all round my friend.
Thanks for the email too.
That Pinecone Lily always amazes me. The Celosia is so pretty Darla. I hope it is getting a little cooler down your way. Have a great week my friend.
Hey everyone, this will be my last post on this blog. Due to an idiot relative I have had to start a new one... I do hope you will follow the new one, email me at rusdar at hotmail dot com and I will give you the address...Thanks!
wow, sorry to hear about the change of blog venue.
I wanted to have some Mexican sage this year and found none. Oh well, maybe next year!
Your pinecone lily is super! I have no idea about drying it.
I too am so ready for a change in seasons. I have been enjoying being able to get outdoors again and enjoy the weather. You have some pretty blooms in the gardens. That Pinecone Lily is so unique. Go ahead and wash your hair in it and tell us what it feels like.
Shampoo Lily - maybe that IS how it got its name!!! I've not noticed the acorns dropping yet. I'm finally getting used to the idea of fall coming and summer ending. Pretty blooms.
Interesting and beautiful Pinecone Lily! I'd go for the shampoo, I don't think you could dry this.
That header photo is to die for. How did you do that? :) Love the Celosia. I know you already knew that! The Pine Cone lily is also awesome. I love that peachy-pink color too. I've never grown it so I don't know about how to dry it or if it's possible. I hope you can though.
The acorns have started hitting my garage door and I can hear the echo all through the house! I don't mind it though because I love fall.
Darla, The pinecone lily is fabulous! How unique. Happy Fall!

Darla, I see you have a new blog! How will it be different from this one? I do enjoy reading your garden posts.

Last year I hung upside down, three of my Pinecone flowers in a dark shed and all they did was shrivel up... then this year I took some advice from a friend and put them in a shoe box with corn meal, for a few weeks.. she said, they will hold their color and be very dried.. just remove the stems first... well it's into two weeks for me... good luck!
Nice post!
Sandy
Great post. My Pine Cone lily is blooming also. I have washed my hair with the fluid that is in the bloom & it left my hair soft & silky. That's all the natives used long ago. I have heard that it can be frozen. Think I'll try it this yr.
If anyone wants a start just let me know----via Darla's blog.
I've never heard of a Pine Cone Lily. Very different and beautiful!
Hi Darla,
What interesting blooms you have today! I don't think I have ever seen either of them. So cool!
Darla, things are really changing around here too, fall is definitely here. That pine cone lily is amazing, never seen anything like it.
Darla, The seeds you sent me last year did not germinate. I would love more thank you. gail
Great bloomin' today! The pinecone lily is certainly unique. Your header picture is amazing! Jean
I love the Pine Cone Lily. It's beautiful but looks alien at the same time.
Never heard of a pine cone lily either. Here in northeast Kansas we had a low last night of 40. BRRRR...
The pinecone lily is so cool! I'd be curious if you really could use the liquid as shampoo.
Your header is stunning! Love all the featured blooms in this post.
Hope I can find you on the new blog!
Your flowers are beautiful! I was really attracted by the Shampoo Lily - I have never seen a plant like that before, it is really unusual.
come out, come out from wherever you are I'm missing you...
email me your address and I will mail these seeds to you.. have a good day hugs, Cherry

Hi Darla,
I have been away from your blog for awhile and enjoyed getting caught up!
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Darla,
I love your header photo, too! That pinecone lily is cool. Your celosia is, too.
You asked me about seeds, I think from love lies bleeding, and maybe some kiss me over the garden gate. The love lies bleeding has taken awhile to turn the color it does when I think the seeds have formed. I took off a few of them, and will see if there are seeds in them. I forgot to check the kiss me's, but the blooms still look good. I'll let you know when the seeds look ready.
The header is a stunner!
Did you move blogs? I must have missed something.
The Celosia is quite pretty, I find them appealing to touch.
The pinecone lily is amazing, how cool is that!
That pinecone lily is my favorite!! I wonder if I could grow it in Michigan?? Hope you are doing well!!

My neighbor cut me a pinecone lily; it seems too full of liquid to dry. I'm wondering if there are seeds inside?
I have never seen a Pinecone Lilly! That is amazing! I learned something new today! Thank you!
I am confused on the date of this post.... I tried Ginger a few years ago but had little luck with too much rain. Rain, that I would love to see now....
Hmmm ya beaucoup de boulot en perspective si on veut respecter tout ?a.
En tout cas Fred, au niveau des 150 mots je ne me fait aucun soucis pour toi ^^
