Time for a new thread for October.
We came from here:

I will start off with some photos of the flowers that were blooming in our flowerbeds when we returned from our vacation this past week:

The mum in the first photo is always the largest and the first one to bloom. I pinched it way back until July but it is still falling over from the weight of the blooms.
The second photo is a close-up of the bean pod vine on our back fence. The hummingbirds love these blooms.
The third photo shows an impatiens which I did not plant this year. It must have come up voluntarily from seeds dropped from one of the plants last year.
The fourth photo shows more mums in our foundation bed against the house. They are just beginning to pop.
The fifth photo shows some petunias which I did plant this year and also another volunteer impatiens behind it.
