Faded Glory

Goldenrod, purple aster, bicycle
Certainly, the garden is well past its prime. But there are still things to appreciate in it, new blossoms as well as distinctive seedheads. Most of the foliage has not started to change color yet; the newspaper warns the mild fall may keep all the colors muted this year. It requires some effort to look past the weeds and brown foliage to find the gems, but they are there if I look for them.









Pink turtleheads

The red winterberries are great this year!


Asters and goldenrods (and a weedy vine)

White mistflower, goldenrod, joe pye weed seedheads

The "blue" aster (color looks pretty true-to-life on my computer)

A carefully framed vignette of (front to back):
dahlia, chrysanthemums, zinnias, butterfly bush

Another framed vignette of mistflower, plumbago,
and my little fir tree, all by the front door
