Summer Music a return from last year and I did not think it would make another year as they arrived so late in July. She loves the greenhouse.

Have a great day everyone!

Coast to Coast is also my best but I have a few others that are decent that I will grab a pic of when the sun comes up

Well, none of mine look good. This summer has been brutal. It was 110 yesterday.

We’ve had a mild summer with no extreme heat and a bit of rain for the first time in years so mine didn’t do too bad

Paradigm

Satisfaction

Prairie Moon amd Midnight at the Oasis

I dont water, except when a planting is new. I have a lot that are showing signs of lack of water, but I also have a few looking great.

Krossa Regal

Halcyon

June

And how about Tokudama Flavocircinalis?

Or maybe Summer Fragrance

The mice are still showing well.

My blue corner with 'Firnline', 'Touch of Class', 'Ben Vernooij', 'Touch of Frost', 'Bulletproof', 'Blue Ivory', 'Regal Splendor', 'Sleeping Beauty' and I'm sure I forgot one somewhere.

'Fragrant Bouquet' doing funky things.

Pieter

Pieter, My mice are still looking good too! Halcyon is also fine. Gotts check my August Frost. I was just so impressed with that Coast to Coast this year.

Sherry

A new picture!..Good job Sherry!..I have one Coast to Coast and I love it..I’ll take a pic of it tomorrow (spoken like a true procrastinator 😂)..
mine still had a summer look the last time I noticed it..

my Coast to Coast..
“wonderland” is wonderful today..🙂

I have a few looking really good and some looking really bad. Here’s the good:

Rainbows End, also in latent blooming.

GL Blue Banana, always looks good.

Blue Ivory in late t bloom as well.

HP also with latent blooms.

debra

Debra, Hank Panky looks really nice, I would like to see that one in person.

Ann, nice wonderland shot, so calming.

Sherry

Such good looking plants starting with your Coast to Coast Sherry!

Smash Hit

Fingerprint

Beyond Glory

It has been so hot I have spent the last couple of weeks in the shade weeding & mulching.

Ivory Necklace

Saint Paul

So much fun to see what still looks good late in the season. So much of my garden has the late summer uglies. Here are a few still looking good.

Goodness Gracious

My Blue Garden, Blue Mouse Ears, Ice Prancer, Silly String, Not Touch of class, Mourning Dove, Skywriter, Blue Mammoth, Earth Angel, Hudson Bay

Sherry, the Hanky Panky was out front in more shade previously. it never looked good! I decided to move it to the back yard in sun. Not only did it survive the move, it thrived! Lesson learned…..you are welcome to come see it any time! You’re close…… ☺️

debra

Not looking their finest, but still good considering the season...

Apple Candy

Devon Green

'Fire Island' still going strong, including flowers!

Pieter

morning walk 9-21..my ‘Fire Island’ look decent too..‘Blue Mouse Ears’..’First Frost’..’June’..all look nice..
I blame myself for the ones that don’t look nice..I let them dry out..in my defense I’m still recovering from shoulder surgery..that’s my story and I’m sticking to it 😂..

I still have some looking good:
debra

Had a quick peek around my backyard earlier today and the mice are still making a fabulous showing!

Pieter

I still have a few that look good, most of the Halcyon family but think my best one is this So Sweet. Had it for ten years and was originally sold and tagged as Yellow River.

So Sweet - pic today

Doing some yard cleanup today and this is 'Ben Vernooij' not knowing when to throw in the towel 🙄

Pieter

And how about this 'Orange Marmalade'...

Pieter

Fun to see a few hostas still looking good by mid October. Frances Williams which I usually think of as a diva with it's "NO SUN" preference, caught my eye today and is still looking good.

After the heat and drought. we now are getting rain and they dont want to quit.

normally they would have taken a freeze by now.

Abiqua Drinking Gourd in my shadiest spot. (The burned leaves on the right belong to a Liberty - always a complainer about sunshine.)

A family portrait of sorts as in these are all related: 'Ben Vernooij', 'Remember Me', 'First Frost', 'Sleeping Beauty', 'Firnline' and 'Blue Ivory'.....

Pieter

Hey @sherrygirl zone5 N il I started a similar thread

https://www.houzz.com/discussions/6407026/foliage-of-first-frost-is-always-pristine#n=2

not realizing your detailed one already existed...sorry!

We have had some near frost nights but some are still looking relatively good others not so much

June amid falling leaves that I had to clear away.

Touch of Class with Wolverine behind & Monashee Blue Cups poking up in front.

took a few pics tonight..ran out of light but I got a pic of June..

fall color..

Winter Snow almost living up to her name. Still has flower heads from re-bloom.

debra

A couple pics from today, I thought looked pretty nice.

June reversion

Big Mama

old_dirt..just wondered..is your June in the sun?..mine are in the shade/part shade and have no yellow..

nicholsworth Z6, It is actually a June reversion (halcyon?). It gets very little sun, maybe 2-3 hours of midday sun. The rest of the day is almost total shade. My real June's are still dark and I don't think they turn ths yellow.

Ahhh..so my June does look like yours..

An updated picture of the Abiqua Drinking Gourds I posted a few weeks ago. A particularly colorful shot, I thought. A couple of Liberties coming out of their sulk from being in the sunshine and Abiquas bright yellow. I’d sure like to find some more of those clear purple heucheras next spring; if I can find some I’ll move those Liberties elsewhere.

Have to post winter Snow and Pandoras Box because their rebloom flowers actually opened!

I like how this BME looks here:

Praying Hands today.

My heuchera seedlings are growing

Late aconitum still blooming Sambucus Tiger eye is all done behind it.
