The trees are really starting to show their beautiful colors, but the flowers in the garden are fading. It's still pretty, in a subdued way.

The
coneflowers are nearly done.

The Rose of Sharon has a few flowers of each color left blooming. I like the big seed pods that are left.

This is one of many flowers on our Hydrangea tree. They start out white, become cream colored and then develop this old fashioned pink color. They will hang on into winter and look quite pretty hanging on the tree with snow over them.

The leaves on the
Cranesbill geranium are looking quite pretty!

There is one lone rose on the arbor.

And just a few morning glories remain.

Some of our decorative bushes are full of berries.

This is a
Colichum, also known as a Fall Crocus. They get leaves in the Spring that die back and nothing happens all summer. Then in the Fall, out pop these glorious flowers!

And last - the Autumn
Sedum. It makes such a pretty bank of color when planted in a clump.
I'm enjoying the color while I can, because I know that it won't be long till I see not much but white when I look out the window!
