The days are getting shorter and cooler, but the garden is giving a last-ditch effort at beauty before the monochromatic winter comes. Here are a few shots of the garden's delights...
 |
| Asters |
We have a garden full of Asters, mostly of this colour. The bees love them!
 |
| Mum's the word. |
CC bought a few different colours of mums for the various urns around the garden, and they provide a nice contrast with the Asters.
 |
| The word. |
 |
| Black-eyed Susans |
Along the driveway, we have masses of Black-eyed Susans, that CC, quite correctly, refers to as bumble-bee flowers, mostly due to their colour. In the background, out of focus, are more of the omnipresent Asters.
 |
| Wild grapes |
Purple fruit and red stems literally "pop out" amongst the greenery.
 |
| Begonia |
Even the outdoor house plants are getting in on the action, as these Begonias demonstrate.
 |
| Fuchsias |
We have three Fuchsia shrubs that will winter indoors, but they are at their peak right now and are popular with Hummingbirds.
