| These are some of the plants blooming in my southern Ontario city garden this week, zone 5b, clay soil, part shade and usually on the dry side.
Anemone hybr. 'Andrea Atkinson' (single white)
Callirhoe involucrata
Dendranthemum 'Mary Stoker' Eupatorium dubium 'Little Joe'
Gaura 'The Bride' (very long-blooming 4' white)
Helianthus 'Lemon Queen'
Oregano 'Herrenhausen' Phlox paniculata (several cultivars, almost finished blooming) Rudbeckia fulgida, several cultivars/natives
Sedum 'Autumn Fire', 'Hester' Solidago bicolor
STILL TO BLOOM: Allium 'Ozawa'
To make it easier (for me) I have listed all aster-types under aster and all solidago-types under solidago. Many of these have new-fangled, unpronouncible scientific names. If you're looking for fall bloomers, don't forgot the ornamental grasses, both native and non-native. They contribute a lot to the overall look of a fall garden. In recent years I have added Colchicum bulbs to poke through groundcover such as low sedum. They are squirrel-proof, and look beautiful planted near, but not through, Aster Woods Pink.

| Don't forget, roses are still in bloom. lavenders still are going strong, annual sages, gaillardias, coleus are also blooming which look nice. my rudbeckia goldsturm are still blooming despite that some are dying out. Ianna |

And don't forget hardy hibiscus and Russian sage. Woody material is important to mix into perennial gardens - heptacodium is wonderful for its fall flowers and viburnums with showy fruit are a great addition too. 'Pink Beauty' potentilla is still producing some flowers, although it's not as prolific as in previous months. 'Queen Elizabeth' rose is a stunning, disease resistant bloomer into late October - every garden should have one!. (Unfortunately, it's out of this picture on the right...)  |

| Does anyone know where to get Solidago 'Golden Fleece' by mail order in Canada? Every nursery I've checked with here in Ottawa is horrified at the thought of ANY goldenrod! |

| Heritage Perennials market Solidago 'Golden Fleece' in Canada, but I'm not sure off-hand where you can get it by mail-order here. I don't do pictures yet, but I may get my DH to take some and show me how to put them on photobucket. |
