We're still in good bloom here in Tennessee but this morning's temp was 39. We finally had some rain in August and it brought up some new cosmos . They won't last long but they are new and pretty.
The cooler temps have made this lantana show a lot more yellow.
Also my miniature rose is a lot hotter pink because of cooler weather.
The cupheas continue in full bloom.
This one reseeded well from last year and came up in unexpected places.
Pineapple sage is a riot right now.
A beautiful thistle.

Those are all so beautiful Bethie. That purple Cosmos is great.
My Mother-in-law collected some Thistle seeds for me during the summer. I love Thistles.

Your flowers are so pretty. I like seeing other peoples flowers still blossoming since we're pretty much done with gardening and flowers here in Michigan. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, I can almost smell the Lantana! And the vibrancy of your colours are wonderful.

A gorgeous collection of shots Bethie. My favourites are the thistle and lantana. I've actually don't think I've seen a thistle looking so well before.
