It might suddenly feel like fall this morning and I gleefully pulled out a sweater but the hibiscus is still going in the garden!

Hungry native #Bees this time of year are like your hungry uncle going through the buffet line taking everything before you get a turn.

This is going to end up becoming a #NativePlants Asters stan account at this rate.

Buzz buzz go the busy #bees enjoying late season pollen from #MagentaMonday #PinkMon Japanese Anemone.

As we transition to fall blooms, we even have Asters for #MagentaMonday #PinkMon.

Toad Lilies are amazing because they look so delicate but they perform so well even in tough dry shade. This pure white version is newly added to the garden this year and I love it already!

Rosa ‘Sweet Spirit’ is dressed to the nines for #MagentaMonday #PinkMon.

I love all the #NativePlants showing off in this incredible shade of blue this time of year and Salvia azurea is no exception.

I think this might be the boss level of Symphyotrichum (Asters) judging by the number of blooms on one plant but I can’t seem to match it up to any of the species I recorded planting in this bed.

I just want to tickle its adorable little grasshopper belly. 🙃

Raindrops keep fallin’ on my kale
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me 🎹🎼

New #NativePlants species alert! We recently added Penthorum sedoides (Ditch Stonecrop) to the Rain Garden and it is *loving* today’s downpours with its friends Lobelia siphilitica & cardinalis. So pretty!

Social media memories are a double-edged sword. Just sitting here enjoying the cool weather & suddenly reminded that all the white flowers are blooming in memory of a friend I said goodbye too young a year ago today.❤️🩹

Absolutely loving Rosa ‘La Di Da’ putting on a beautiful show for a plant that just went into the ground in late June.

#NativePlants Elephantopus carolinianus on the shady side of the Parkway proves there are great choices to keep color & #pollinators food going through late season even in woodland gardens with dry soil.

Meaningful rain finally! My new plantings need it so bad. We’re getting close to an inch & it’s still coming down. Our soil was *so* dry. While we stay inside, here is the beautiful #NativePlants Ageratina altissima (White Snakeroot).

The most beautiful #birds feeder for migration season is hands-down #NativePlants Aralia racemosa. Thrives in our difficult urban parkway conditions & adds so much color, habitat, life… joy.

#NativePlants selection Solidago sphacelata ‘Golden Fleece’ is a great way to add #pollinators food in small spaces and makes a beautiful edger to soften straight lines in any bed. Introduced by Mt. Cuba Center.

Our Tithonia is still a busy fueling station for the larger migrating Monarch #butterflies. And you can see the electric orange from space. 😎🤪
