No gentle decay here, not as far as most of my annuals are concerned. 
My annual salvia, the impatiens, marigolds, begonias, geraniums, verbena, even the snapdragons, are still going strong.......but for how much longer???
My monkshood has just started it's fall display, the sedum is gorgeous, and the icicle pansies are guaranteed to stick around for a while.
What's still blooming in your garden?

The mums I planted about 6 weeks ago are blooming again, and my Joe-Pye Weed is beautiful! There are 3 new shoots on my Penstemon, and the Kniphophia is shooting out too. Everything is soooo confused! They should be sleeping!!!
