As in my Part One Farewell to Summer from a Garden State Gardener illustrated, it has been a colorful season.  Since I am such an avid gardener, I simply could not fit all of the flowers I had to share in Part One, so without further adieu I give you Part Two!

Before leaving off I was saying how I welcome Clematis growing in my garden anywhere. How could I resist these beauties?

I will take flowering everything and that includes flowering bushes such as this breathtaking Weigelia & Viburnum.

There is the occasional intruder but trust me they are ever so welcome to stop by anytime!  They don't eat much.

It has been a bountiful Summer indeed as I can't help myself from planting in every corner of my yard.

Some might say I have a Flower Addiction and they would be right!  Life would be so drab without the beauty they bring.

It's easy to see that I can't get enough of this stuff.  There are many more that I couldn't fit into this post.

The sweet scent of the butterfly bush blooms late in the season just in time to bring the Butterflies.

Look at who stopped in.  Well, I can't lie.  They dropped in for the food I put out for them.

The Hydrangea remind me of Cape Cod and the water and they're a beautiful way to end this post.

As for that secret I promised in Part One of my Farewell to summer - my garden may look huge but it's a small country garden with just enough space to squeeze in every flower I can.  It's a bit messy or casual and it's a true labor of love from start to finish and so was this post.  I hope it brought everyone a glimpse of beautiful memories of the season of Summer.

A special thanks to my husband Bob for his part in the photography portion of this post!
