The Autumn Garden


 August Lily, the fragrant flower of the shade-loving hosta plant


 Profusion of perennials and annuals in the fall border - white alyssum, white and purple osteospermum,  purple and blue perennial aster, Flower Carpet Coral landscape rose, fuchsia-colored sedum, and orange zauschneria, beloved of hummingbirds


 The striking hummingbird mint Agastache Ava next to Agastache Golden Jubilee along the fence on our country road. Yes, the hummingbirds do love these plants.


 Bee on the blue caryopteris. Insects are fun to photograph and give interest to flower studies


Goldenrod "Peter Pan." I have several varieties of Solidago, and I find baby plants of this one all over my garden. Not suprising, since Goldenrod is still considered a weed by some people.


My wonderful mesh vegetable basket


"Morden Sunrise" single rose in shades of yellow, gold and peach
