It's generally a mostly sad time for me, thinking about the end of the garden for another long, cold, long winter -- not to mention all the work of putting everything to rights before the snow flies. However when I'm out there looking there is still lots of beauty to be found. I try to keep some fall flowers so I have some beautiful deep red mums in bloom still, my fall crocus just wilted this week, and my asters haven't even started. I hope they get their blooming done in time. Even the flowers that are really done for the year though, give us some wonderful colour and texture, and I don't cut them down til they look sad. These photos are of my purple coneflower at the end of it's cycle.
