After the recent cold blast, things are definitely winding down now. But here are pictures from about 10 days ago. (Some canna pics from 2-3 weeks ago.)

Thomas Edison bloomed below leaves earlier, but now is showing itself better (I may have too much nitrogen in the soil from manure this spring).

Bradley Aaron

September Morn with Aitari Diadem (fuchsia and white)

Carmen Fiesta

Tropical Salmon is shorter and likes lots of fertilizer:

Fantastic Red (a very intense color):

Orange Punch (cannas are at hospital bed I tend):

At a friend's (whose garden I tend), this crypt is filled with coleus. Rumors have it that a former husband is interred here.

Foliage plants

Rob Roy has beautiful leaves:

Cameo (stems tend to be too short)

Cheyenne

Hope

When I went to the hospital garden today, I was greeted with these trusses of Aida:

AC Lavender was prolific in the dahlia garden

Zinnias were still brilliant.

Victoria Ann had a nice cluster.

A trio of Ali Oop, Alpen X, and Brookside Snowball

Divine Pink towered over the hospital garden.

There were some Melody Parfumee roses

These anemone cultivars are late this year and not as showy as usual (harsh winter probably to blame).
