Most people bemoan the fact that the garden season is over. My borders are lush and full with ageratums, zinnias, calibrachoa, cannas, grasses, and more to come with asters, hardy mums not yet out.

Asters, Boltonia, Caryopteris, Dahlias, Lespedeza, Salvias, Amaranthus, and more.... Now is the time to surrender, to allow the saturated colors to permeate the scene, and to get drunk on the intoxicating beauty and impending decay. <em>Kathy, that's pure poetry. I think we might all need to make a visit... -kris</em> I think of our September Garden Display as the grand finale. Asters, Boltonia, Caryopteris, Dahlias, Lespedeza, Salvias, Amaranthus, and more….
