Fall is when Eucodonia 'Adele' is at her peak bloom.

And fall is when 'Adele's relative xAchimenantha 'Inferno' reaches peak. Both usually have to be brought inside to protect from killing frost.

Brugmansia 'Adora'. There were two blooms in early Sept. and there is another one today, but about ten more will come along in about 10 more days I think. 'Adora' hasn't been nearly as prolific with blooms as the yellow one or 'Eternity', both of which have about a couple of dozen or more buds that will probably be blooming also in another 10 days. Not a brug bloom, but this little fellow was trying to be one :)

I've had daylilies blooming since May. That's extraordinary to me. This one is 'Whip City Dapper Dan'. A big, wide bright colored bloom like this only requires one to be visible.

I haven't been especially happy with the plant itself, but Passiflora 'Lady Margaret' has supplied a steady supply of blooms and shows no sign of quitting yet. Never many at one. That'd be nice if it would.

No new photos, but the toad lily, Mandevillas and Crossandra are all still providing bloom. I'm hoping the toad lily decides to put on a show. There are enough buds to do that, but so far it's behaving like the Passiflora - just a couple a day.
