The season closing in and still there are flowers to set off the burnished foliage of autumn.
The season closing in and still there are flowers to set off the burnished foliage of autumn. Raydon’s Favorite Asters are full of their lavender dreaminess. This floral display is such a great reward for putting up with their somewhat weedy selves throughout the summer.The tree with what looks like red flowers is the Seven Son Flower, Heptacodium miconoides, showing off it’s red phase of the flowers. These are not really flowers at all, but, instead, calyces surrounding small fruits formed from the fragrant white flowers that lasted throughout the month of September. Pictured last, a cool late flowering Allium - this one is Allium thumbergii ‘Ozawa’ and a bee favorite. A tiny thing with loads of flowers and attended by a crowd of pollinators. -- source link
