a bit of an autumn revival
As Enzo shows you, things have greened up quite a bit (and my intention was to get him with the hibiscus, still going strong). Ok, most of the greenery is because the grass is REALLY long, and the pictures are missing the bald spots. But somehow, the garden has a second wind. 
Sure, there's a lot of dead stuff, but there's a bunch that's just coming into its own right now too.
I planted these guys a month ago, don't even remember what they are, an annual I picked up at Shannon to perk up the peony bed. They had buds at the time, 
but took a month to open.
On a different note, for a couple months, this big tall guy has been growing in one of the pots. I wasn't worried about him as he was so contained, but wondered what he'd turn into. 
The first shot is from early September, but now he's bloomed! Looks like some kind of aster maybe? I see it everywhere (in the weedy sense), but maybe we should say "wildflower." I say welcome.

He'd had a rough night with a head cold.
