Lovely rose, Gita. I'm surprised mine are still blooming, as well.

This time of the year is when my backyard gets the most shadow. The sun is low in the sky but the large shade trees in my neighborhood still have most of their leaves. It's great for picture taking!

1 Citrus, still outside and ripening. I got a bad infestation of mites/ scales last winter so I'm going to keep these outside as long as possible.

2 Ninebark. Gorgeous color for 3 seasons and then lovely bark in the winter.

3 Crape myrtle having a wonderful fall season.

4 Knock out rose still blooming.

5 Does anyone know what this is? Are the blooms going to open up any more?
