| The damianta is blooming again! |
 |
| The bees are all over the Mexican bush sage. |
 |
| And the 'Indigo Spires' salvia, too. |
 |
| The mealycup sage and four-nerve daisy are blooming again. |
 |
| The white mistflower is in full force. |
 |
| So it is blue mistflower. Here's a monarch. |
 |
| A red admiral (my favorite butterfly species). |
 |
| A Gulf fritillary. |
 |
| A sulphur species. |
 |
| A new wildflower in the Meadow! Amazing what pops up when you don't mow! |
 |
| White heath aster (Symphyotrichum ericoides) |
 |
| From a distance, the asters are pretty, too. |
 |
| In the Meadow, the prairie verbena hasn't given up yet. |
 | |||
| False ragweed |
 |
The purple milkweed in the Meadow is still going to seed.  |
 |
| The pentas and zinnias that James planted still look great. |
 |
| Look at our turk's cap in the back yard! Reds, pinks and whites are all in bloom. |
 |
| Our friends, Charles and Rachelle, gave us this 'Confetti' lantana last summer. It's just growing and blooming up a storm. |
 |
| Last but not least, the Texas betony is giving a beautiful last show of blooms for fall. Thank you for everything, O' Wondrous Wildscape of ours! |

I love the thread-leaf zinnias in the log. Mine re-seed every year, so that's a plus! I actually prefer these to the larger, showier zinnias, and the threadleaf doesn't get mildew like the others.
Hey, Sandy! Thanks for the heads-up on the zinnias...I fixed my boo-boo (I had marigolds). And yes, they sure have grown well and kept blooming. I love their color!
Lovely, wonderful fall. Your photos sing I Love Fall!
