I love that combination of aromatic aster, threadleaf coreopsis and switchgrass Gloria. The colors and delicate textures all work together harmoniously.

I love the aromatic asters too, I let them run rampant wherever they want and they show up in unexpected places but are most welcome. I need some threadleaf coreopsis, I use to have it but I don't think it liked it here.

Some blooms from today, the New England aster is in its full glory, aromatic aster has been blooming in sunny spots for awhile now, I forgot about the blue lobelia, it always surprises me when it blooms because in leaf it is unassuming. The Eggert's sunflower rebounded from August's drought and is putting on a good show now as is the cutleaf coneflower which usually blooms much earlier but also waited for the rains it seems.

I can't leave out Indiangrass which I love.

Thanks, Ellen.

This vine was blooming at the Gateway to the Sound, in marshy shrubby area. There was lots of it. Do any of you know what it is? The only white flowering vine I can find that blooms now is Sweet Autumn Clematis, but I have that at my house and this does not look the same.

And, while we are on unknown flowering plants, this was in full bloom at Duke Gardens, in the Native Plant section, without a label. Do any of you recognize it? I would love to plant it.

Cutleaf coneflower is blooming much later than expected and the asters keep on doing what they do. The first aster is one that inhabits the field, the second, New England aster.

Leaves are beginning to change here in MI, but I still have some blooms. I have at least 3 different asters in bloom. I'm sure of New England and Aromatic, the others I'm not so sure I can ID (one more that is purple and one that is white). I have Goldenrods left - Canada and Stiff. There are some late Cutleaf Coneflowers, too. And the Wild Quinine STILL has blooms on it. That has been amazing this summer! Checked on the Witch hazel this morning - no blooms there. The plant is at least 3 years old but was nibbled to nubs by rabbits a couple of times. It's coming back nicely, with multiple stems, but no blooms yet. The blooms I have left are ALIVE with bees on the sunny days and I still saw a Monarch a few days ago. I think the hummingbirds have left me, though. No sign of them for almost two weeks. Taking feeders down and packing them away tomorrow.

I had jewelweed for a year or two that I grew from wild seeds. It did fine out by my birdbath/pond as long as I gave it a drink when we hit a stretch of dry weather. Alas, we went on vacation for 4 weeks one August and it was THE driest stretch of weather we'd had in years. Needless to say, the Jewelweed didn't survive. I may try it again one day. Touch-me-not was one of the first natives I fell in love with way back in the day, when hubby and I were first married and living in CT.
