October moon is shining, what's glowing on in your garden now?

20 years ago

The weather here is a chilly 39 degrees, and the sky is clear. The moon is huge and shining brightly, my evening garden has a few sparklers tonight. The white hibiscus, white butterfly bush, white dahlias, nicotiana, geranium, vinca, petunias and alyssum are lighting mine up. What's aglow in yours this bright night?

The black snakeroot (Eupatorium rugosum). As cool as it was, there were a lot of moths on them last night. They light up really nicely.

Well, it's November now, things are winding down here, alyssum, nicotiana, sedum frosty morn, and white petunias are the last of the white holdouts. Happy Fall.

Symphoricarpus alba, absolutely loaded with berries hanging almost to the floor.
