I snapped some pics of the flowers blooming in my yard last night. I think autumn colors are deeper and more vivid than the tones on some of these same flowers in the summer.
It won’t be long before the colors fade after a hard frost. Average hard freeze, aka killing freeze, happens in Boise on October 23rd.
For the truly curious, plant names L to R in the photo at the top.
Lavender, agastache, bee balm, sedum, cosmos
Zinnia, penstemon, hollyhock, cleome, mini rose
Penstemon, rose, cosmos, Jupiter’s beard, viola
Coreopsis, butterfly bush, autumn sedum
