| Aunt V's Hibiscus |
As the last blooms are fading on the hibiscus moscheutos, and the exuberant white hydrangea mopheads are turning fall-ish, the pluming fountain grasses and the stonecrop sedums are coming into their full glory.
The bees are very busy, moving now from the perovskia atriplicifolia to the pink sedum heads.

| M's Sedum |
The mums are still holding back, as they should, and a few of the hostas are still blooming white. Bold perennial color is a little elusive at this time of the year, but the cannas, the callas, the dahlia bulbs and other tropicals are stealing the glory yet for a little while. The reputedly psychotropic potted brugmansia plant at Aunt V's is in full bloom. The mandevillas are finally twining and full.
I just love the sun-kissed leaves on the canna I bought this year which blooms in yellow, tinged with red. It is growing gloriously tall, with some diamond frost euphorbia at its feet.
