Here are some photos from my garden taken from mid-September to early October. Asters start blooming here in early September and continue through October.
Asters “Pink Cloud” and “Monch” with last flowers of Linaria purpurea and Lychnis coronaria
Blue leadwort, aka Ceratostigma plumbaginoides or Plumbago
Hosta plantaginea in bloom. The flowers smell like jasmine.
Thalictrum foliage and fallen maple leaves
Ornamental grass Stipa gigantea in the front garden
Rosa rugosa foliage and hips with Cotoneaster, and aster “Pink Cloud” in the background
Your plants are so pretty! Thanks for sharing them with us. And you know the real names, too, impressive.

They seem pretty tough, but then my area has pretty mild winters.

I noticed my first astors yesterday driving through the country side. Yay, Fall!

Yes, fall can be the most colourful season, what with leaves turning and the late-bloomers.

Lovely, Audrey! We just had a first real frost last night. Everything is dying now. We did bring in our beautiful mint plant and hibiscus after my husband cut them down last week. They will make another year. Sad to see all the flowers gone slowing dying off. Sigh!

Thank you, Janice. Fall is a bit sad, but hopefully the flowers will be back next spring and summer.
