We still have a lot of work to do, but at least we got things started.<\/p>\n<p>While I was working in the garden I noticed that quite a few of my fall flowers were blooming so I got out my camera and took quite a few pictures. Here&#8217;s a few of my favorite garden photos from last weekend:<\/p>\n<p>Toad Lilies! The only time of year that I can see lovely Toad Lilies blooming is in late September through October. Aren&#8217;t they absolutely lovely?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Toadlilies\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dragonden\/6262575604\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ext-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6177\/6262575604_1182db788f.jpg\" alt=\"Toadlilies \" width=\"425\" height=\"284\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then there are these lovely chrysanthemums. I have a large planter of them on my front porch blooming their pretty little heads off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"chrysanthemums\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dragonden\/6262110421\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ext-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6154\/6262110421_4cd32164c0.jpg\" alt=\"chrysanthemums 3\" width=\"426\" height=\"284\" \/><\/a><\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>Sedum always shines at this time of year. I always think of it as kind of a filler plant in the spring and summer, but come Autumn it&#8217;s a star when it begins to bloom and turns lovely colors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Sedum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dragonden\/6262114685\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ext-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6223\/6262114685_d6af93707f.jpg\" alt=\"Sedum \" width=\"425\" height=\"283\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Monkshood is another Autumn favorite of mine. I have two types of Monkshood growing in my backyard garden. I believe the type in the photo below is Monkshood Azure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Monkshood\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dragonden\/6262064191\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ext-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6055\/6262064191_2754c9c1a4.jpg\" alt=\"Monkshood 9\" width=\"425\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This last photo is my favorite. Of course it&#8217;s a rose. This rose is Chicago Peace. It&#8217;s not as colorful as it would be in the Spring or early summer &#8230; but it&#8217;s still lovely. If it weren&#8217;t for the little tiny green leaf on one of the petals I think this would be an almost perfect picture of this rose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Chicago Peace Rose\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dragonden\/6262109011\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ext-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6053\/6262109011_3bbc1ac308.jpg\" alt=\"Chicago Peace Rose \" width=\"425\" height=\"284\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>Do you still have flowers blooming in your garden?
