Happy 247 days until summer to all who are counting. This is "Thomas À Beckett," another of my David Austin roses. This was its first year so I allowed it to focus on growing and strengthening, but it has produced several beautiful blooms. #rose #flower #flowers #garden #fall 🌱

Who framed Smitty? Who leaked the video? I might have a big clue. Are Ted and Nicole really over? Plus, Heather's interest in Hayley and some silliness amid the drama. My View From #BeyondtheGates Podcast SPOTIFY danjkroll.com/blog/0v5q AMAZON danjkroll.com/blog/l78s APPLE danjkroll.com/blog/aj7q

Happy 248 days until summer to all who are counting. There's probably only 1 day until the growing season ends, so this could be one of the final flowers of the year. This is "Crown Princess Margareta," an English climbing rose by David Austin. Strong fragrance, beautiful abundant blooms. 🌱

Happy 249 days until summer to all who are counting. It's a two-for-one special today. This is "Molineux," another David Austin rose. I guess since it's getting chilly, these blooms are staying warm by snuggling. 🥰 #rose #roses #flower #flowers #garden 🌱

Happy 250 days until summer to all who are counting. This is the first time I am sharing this rose, mostly because it waited until late to really start blooming. This is "Bolero," an extremely fragrant floribunda rose. #rose #flower #flowers #garden 🌱

Happy 251 days until summer to all who are counting. This is the "Apricot Drift Rose." It isn't fragrant and is viewed more for groundcover purposes. But it's blooms are beautiful and needed to be shared. #Rose #roses #flower #flowers #garden 🌱

Happy 252 days until summer to all who are counting. The dahlias are still growing, including this one "Fuzzy Wuzzy," which is a new variety for me this year. Its ruffled edges make this a fun variety to grow. #flower #flowers #garden 🌱

Happy 253 days until summer to all who are counting. A little taste of Provence with a rare early fall rebloom on my lavender plants. Not sure who liked it more... me or the bees! #lavender #flower #flowers #bees #garden 🌱

Happy 254 days until summer to all who are counting. This photo is not AI and it doesn't have some strange filter on it. This is the way "Flamenco" dances in the sunlight. It's almost unreal! It's also blooming better now than it has all summer! #rose #roses #flower #flowers #garden 🌱

Happy 255 days until summer to all who are counting. This came as a HUGE surprise. I was out doing some fall cleanup and saw that one of my irises had rebloomed. It's not uncommon for that to happen, but it's usually in August or September. 🌱

Dan J Kroll @danjkroll.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Happy 256 days until summer to all who are counting. I no longer have any idea what dahlia this is. Each bloom is wildly different than the last. It also no longer matches the variety it *should* be. But it's still beautiful. Nature is fun. 😆 #dahlia #flower #flowers #garden 🌱

Happy 258 days until summer to all who are counting. The English roses are still growing nicely even in the chilly weather. This is "Strawberry Hill," a David Austin rose. It has grown a lot this year, maybe two to three feet. Fragrance is 🥰. #rose #flower #flowers #flowerphotography 🌱

Dan J Kroll @danjkroll.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Happy 259 days until summer to all who are counting. It really feels like fall today, so here is a fall staple: the chrysanthemum. This was a gift three or four years ago from a local garden center. It makes me smile when it returns every year. #flower #flowers #flowerphotography #fall 🌱

Dan J Kroll @danjkroll.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Happy 260 days until summer to all who are counting. This is the "Quatre Saisons" (or "Four Seasons") rose. This is the third season in which it has bloomed, but I am not expecting any winter blooms. It has a wonderful fragrance. #rose #flower #flowers #flowerphotography 🌱

Dan J Kroll @danjkroll.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Happy 261 days until summer to all who are counting. This is the "Colour Cocktail" rose. The blooms change color as they age, which you can see in this photo. This is vigorous grower, but the trade off is that there is no fragrance. #rose #flower #flowers #flowerphotography 🌱

Happy 262 days until summer to all who are counting. This is "Angel Face," a frilly, delicate little bloom. It photographs a little pinker than it is in person. It has a sweet, light fragrance. #rose #flower #flowers #flowerphotography 🌱

Dan J Kroll @danjkroll.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Happy 263 days until summer to all who are counting. The pop charts are all about choosing Texas, but in my garden we're all about "Teasing Georgia." This is a climbing rose from David Austin. In addition to looking beautiful, it also smells amazing. #rose #flower #flowers #flowerphotography 🌱

Dan J Kroll @danjkroll.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Happy 264 days until summer to all who are counting. This is the "Revolution" bicolor gerber daisy. This was another "found on the reject/clearance shelf" at a local garden center. I'm glad I took a chance on it because the bloom is beautiful. This is only its second bloom all year. 😍 🌱 #flower

Happy 266 days until summer to all who are counting. This flower needs a sultry sax solo, which is probably why it was named "Scentuous." Strong fragrance, very sweet. #rose #flower #flowers #garden 🌱

Dan J Kroll @danjkroll.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Happy 267 days until summer to all who are counting. This is "Colour Cocktail," another rose that I stumbled upon randomly at a garden center. I absolutely love it. It has blooms of different colors and is a strong grower. #rose #flower #flowers 🌱

Dan J Kroll @danjkroll.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Happy 268 days until summer to all who are counting. This is the "Karl Lagerfeld" rose, which unsurprisingly is quite stylish. The blooms have gotten much more purple as the season has progressed. 🌱 #rose #flower #flowers #garden #flowerphotography

Happy 269 days until summer to all who are counting. This is "Belinda's Dream." I am not sure what she dreams of, but I am already dreaming of warm weather and longer days. But as long as the growing season continues, I will remain mostly happy 😊. #rose #flowers #flower #garden 🌱

Happy 270 days until summer to all who are counting. This is "Morden Blush," a rose I first found at a big box store. It was misdelivered there, I didn't recognize the name, and bought it. I liked it so much, I ordered more. #rose #flower #flowers #flowerphotography #flowergarden 🌱

Happy 271 days until summer to all who are counting. My garden is still growing strong, and some things are blooming better than they have all year. Like this, the "Camille Pissarro" rose. The delicate white stripes make this a favorite. 🌱

Happy ninety-fourth day of summer to all who celebrate. Fall doesn't start 'til 2000 here... so cool your jets 😆. This is a "Café au Lait" dahlia that grew in an unexpected location. I must have missed a tuber from last year and it somehow survived the brutal winter. 🌱 #dahlias #flower #flowers

Happy eighty-third day of summer to all who celebrate. It's probably not a surprise that all of my plants and flowers bring all sorts of creatures to the property. It's impossible to see all of them, so I've set up critter cams. One of them caught this ruby-throated hunmingbird. #hummingbird #birds
