The pots and I finally made it back to the garden after weeks spent traveling hither and yon... 6 1/2 weeks, to be precise. When I was last here, August 6, many things were just getting started: tomatoes, various phlox, a clematis or two, to name just a few... Now they are finished. Even some of the sedums are done. It's fall. Very sad.

There was one lovely surprise, C Jackmanii is blooming its head off. And a few others are still present: the Colocasia is huuuuuuge. Verbena bonariensis is exuberant, and the Monarchs are loving it.
