Red Glory and New Neighbors.

10-18-07 VERMONT: We came up this afternoon to a sultry, hazy, warm late October [?] day. I was walking around in shirtsleeves and sandals. Lots of flowers are still in bloom: phlox, chrysanthemum, asters, monkshood, bee balm, hydrangea, helenium, boltonia, sedum, geranium, and witch-hazel to name some. I was hoping to do the garden cleanup, but usually do that after everything is dormant which it is clearly not. We have 1.4 inches of rain since the eighth. Even the tomatoes are still trying. The red maple is indeed.

New blooms: cimicfuga.


Phlox and Helenium.

Indeed Red.
