    Lookin’ good, John. I can’t believe some of those plants are still in bloom (ie: sneezewood, obedient plant, veronica), in particular. Those pooped out a while ago in my garden! Your grasses always look so nice.

    Oh no, you have a problem! I have only just started following you recently, and if this is slim pickins you are gonna be in trouble when I am expecting something spectacular!! All of your various plants look great, especially your grasses and the sneezeweed – a new name on me! Great pics as well!!

    Now I have more plants to add to my list for adding color to the garden next year. By the way, the dahlia picture is gorgeous! Looks like it was lit from behind and glowing.

    Hi John, Just some of my little comments:
    Would the sedum you have featured be the plants you cut back in June?
    Sneezeweed ‘Short’n’Sassy’ looks like a fun one to grow with its blue cone heads. Not
    familiar with this one.
    The Veronica ‘Blue Candles’ looks like mine, right now and so do the Hydrangea’s.
    And yes, of course…. your grasses always look splendid!

    I love that sneezeweed. Must have. It’s nice to see the more subtle autumn colours. We don’t get much dramatic tree colour here in the Pacific Northwest.
