Mid-September Flowers

Here are a few more of the flowers still in bloom in the garden at the moment.  I've found two more that are just in bud, and will bloom shortly, provided the frost doesn't get them first!

The first of these is Ligularia, with it's striking bright yellow/almost orange blossoms, and it provides a significant patch of colour in the garden in September.

This is what the plant looks like, with large heart-shaped leaves that are usually quite purplish underneath.  Worth having in the garden for the September colour.

We have several Phlox now in bloom, ranging from white through several shades of pink, to deeper purple, below.  Always another late summer splash of colour.

I really like the fine-textured blooms of the Liatris; we have both purple and white varieties.

And there are lots of brown-eyed susans around in some large  patches; they'll go on til frost hits.

On the other hand, the Hollyhocks are just about done - the last bloom on the tallest plant here.

I like this fine-textured bright pink Astilbe.

This is a new one to me, Garlic Chives, in the corner of the veggie garden, in front of the last of the tomatoes.

And of course we have a few tall sunflowers still that the Goldfinch and Chickadees are constantly visiting.  Ours are a nice orange colour this year.
