Happy Monday GPODers!

We’re starting the week with Robin Hess in Hampton Falls, NH. Robin has shared some fall close-ups in the past (Robin’s New Hampshire Garden), and she’s back to share what was blooming and unfurling this year.

Hello! Here’s my New Hampshire garden. All the photos were taken this fall, even the new fronds from the late blooming ostrich fern.

However, adding some more radiant orange to the landscape is never a bad idea either. Robin said this gorgeous mum is the variety ‘Amber Morning’ (Chrysanthemum ‘Amber Morning’, Zones 5–9).

The aforementioned fronds! Robin let us know that this is a ‘The King’ ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris ‘The King’, Zones 3–7), and even the fronds are quite stately. If you have the space, ‘The King’ is a great, bold clumper for woodland gardens, growing up to 50% larger than the straight species.

A perfect mound of ‘Daisy Rose’ mum (Chrysanthemum ‘Daisy Rose’, Zones 5–9) absolutely glows against the yellow foliage behind, while subtly matching with their yellow centers.

Thank you so much for sharing her stunning garden and photography with us again, Robin!
