    I had nothing blooming for a long time but it's looking better now.

    I have asters, obedient plant, orange cosmos, roses, sedums, zinnias, balloon plant and golden marguerite is blooming again, perennial ageratum, agastaches, goldenrod and sages.

    The snakeroot is amazing this year, this is one of the wild patches blooming in the yard:

    Not too much is blooming now-summer was not a good season for my flowers, although I enjoyed the drier & cooler weather. There's still some phlox, Japanese anemone, Envy & other zinnias, Indigo spires salvia, blue bedding salvias, Amaranth "Hot Biscuits", dahlias, mums, annual scabiosa, sage, strawflowers, Solidago "Fireworks", "Strawberry Fields" gomphrena, Japanese lanterns, Asclepias curassavica, & crocosmia.

    Got my first ever bloom on the phlox I got from a friend a couple of years ago. So nice to see that it is a lovely lt. pink/purple - not lavendar but not pink either.

    Also have coreopsis "Mouse Ear", miniature patio roses, tuberous begonias, sedum Matrona (well, what's left of it that didn't fall over from the abundant rain early in its growing season!), purple petunias that just surfaced a couple of weeks ago & are now in bloom (left overs from wheelbarrow planting 2 years ago!) and an airy spreading groundcover with little pink flowers that for the life of me I cannot remember the name.

    Believe it or not, my nasturtiums are still going strong! Still plenty of toad lilies, forget-me-nots, plumbago, BES. Picked a vase full of roses and still had a large amount of petals to dry, and the Pink Fairy is loaded with blooms. The Polish Spirit clematis is still going. And in the alleyway, all the red-n-golds are going strong; marigolds, calendula, gaillardia, painted daisies and coreopsis. There's even a few cupid's darts I WS that I wasn't expecting to see until next year!

    Looking pretty good for October!
