Fall foilage.

Lobelia cardinalis and Turtle's Head bloom in fall.

Scabiosa.

Pin cushion flower is marginal in my microclimate, probably a zone 4b.

North side of sun room.

Krossa regal hosta, Highbush cranberry. The hybrid 'Palace Purple' Coral Bells died last winter. Impatiens is an annual.

Japanese iris.

Our soil is very alkaline in the Loess Hills. Takes work to keep acid loving Japanese iris going.

Iris bed after frost.

Looking NE. The bare ground was the vegetable garden. The asparagus foilage remains.

New England Aster in fall.

Monarch butterflies love them. 'Alma Potschke' next to it.

Late summer.

Coneflowers, Rudbeckia, fall asters.

Looking east to the back of the house.

After the frost, because the vegetable garden is gone on the right.
