Despite a number of nights in the twenties, a few blooms are hanging on for Carol's Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day. I have included some seedheads as well.
I love snapdragons!
The bergenia bloom faded, but still has color.
This lavender is looking pretty good.
Knautia has a number of blooms most of the season.
I don't remember if this sedum bloomed this summer.
The mums are almost finished, but still have some color.
I tend to neglect to show the sweet alyssums, but they sure are loaded with blooms most of the summer.
Strawflowers:
Beautyberries:
Some petunias have decided to have a few more blooms.
I don't remember the honeysuckle blooming this time of year before. There are just a few left.
I love the shape and scent of stock blooms.
I like the color of these volunteer salvias.
'Immortality' iris is trying to live up to its name.
Like me, this snapdragon is not ready for winter!
'Fireworks' goldenrod:
This helenium is 'Mardi Gras'. It has sent out a few new blooms, even though the rest of the seedheads have been on the plant quite awhile.
Thess look a lot like the mums I showed a few photos previously, but the ones above were white when they first opened, and these have always been pink.
This verbena from a friend's farm looks to be pretty spready. I love it, so will work to keep in within the boundaries I have for it.
The blackberry lily seed pods are poisonous, plus they reseed more freely than I have room for, so I should take them off soon.
Salvia Plumosa:
The catmints are throwing out a few last blooms.
A couple pincushion blooms are providing some nice blue color.
I like how 'Autumn Joy' sedum puts out new flowers that mingle with the old ones.
Eupatorium, 'Prairie Jewel':
The nameless plants I got this summer turned out to be coreopsises of some kind.
Inside, some of the holiday cacti have lots of buds, with a few flowers open so far.
I hope to make it to some blogs in the next few days to see what's blooming for you.

The pineapple sage is continuing to put on new blooms, now that it's finally ready to flower.
