We still have some blooms. Would have been more if not for that one cold front that brought temps down below 26° one night. Sweet Autumn Clematis is holding onto a few blossoms...spotted a hummingbird going to one yesterday. Also the Aromatic Aster, but won't be long before they're gone. A wild fall aster still going in a protected spot, the trailing white lantana, the native blue mistflower still hanging in there. I have also seen a few 4-nerve daisies, Zexmenia and a pot of sweet violets. Wish it was more!
Added one more: Rue! This plant can laugh at cold and keep blooming, at least in my area. It says 'Hey, is that the lowest it can go? Bring it on!'
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
