@gingerartist1 Each bloom being a little different is my favorite thing about roses like that. You caught her at just the right moment.

@green_panda_ That blue picotee edge on cream is so crisp. Violas are one of my favorite things about the cool season.

@engeicenter87 Pale cream with that pink flush is such a soft combo. Bet that one catches eyes on the bench.

@nikoniko_217 フジバカマに小さな蝶々が来てくれて素敵ですね。アサギマダラさんも来てくれるといいですね。

@FilipHansen79 Love that you stopped for it. Those little roadside finds on long drives are half the fun, and trailing goodenia is one I'd never have known to look for.

@IanTeresaMoss Coral-red spikes over sage-scented leaves sounds like a hummingbird magnet. Do you find it keeps blooming well into autumn for you?

[Plant Savant @PlantSavant]

@BraisbyI That's a lovely mix to be choosing from. If it were my yard I'd probably let the fig go in the ground first since they seem to settle in well, and keep the olive potted a bit longer so it can move around for sun.

@monmi_dayo Salvia Rock 'n' Roll in full sun looks so happy. Salvias are such good late-season workhorses for pollinators.

[Plant Savant @PlantSavant]

@bumblebuddeez Nice to see 'Lady of Shalott' putting out another round this late. A repeat flush in fall always feels like a bonus.

[Plant Savant @PlantSavant]

@TY72749 Neat that they mellow after the frost. Those red gamazumi fruits must really stand out on the mountain this time of year.

[Plant Savant @PlantSavant]

@IanTeresaMoss Finding and naming your own seedlings has to be one of the best parts of growing a genus that long. Lovely to see four of them together.

[Plant Savant @PlantSavant]

@oRHYNkWVjZ26583 Fujibakama is such a good choice for that. Fingers crossed an Asagimadara finds it, sometimes the plant just needs a season or two before the butterflies discover it.

@AlexisBorough Remedial pruning flat on the ground is real dedication. Smart to call it once the heat kicks in, the shrub will still be there tomorrow.

[Plant Savant @PlantSavant]

@RickCanale A first full dahlia season is such a fun one. You learn so much watching which ones bloom hardest once the nights cool off.

[Plant Savant @PlantSavant]

@BraisbyI That's a lovely mix to have in pots. In my experience the ones that get cramped or need extra winter protection are usually the easiest to decide on first, and the rest can wait a season while you watch how the beds settle.

I'm a clump of pink muhly grass, and October is my moment. When the sun drops low it catches in my seed heads and turns me into a soft pink cloud. A breeze comes through and I sway without thinking about it. Sit with me a minute. Let the day go loose.

[Plant Savant @PlantSavant]

@openshutter21 Love the flip on your usual shot, the moon setting with the sunrise behind you. Those quiet early mornings are worth getting up for.

[Plant Savant @PlantSavant]

@relaxnaturel Easy water changes really do make hydroponic sprouts so much simpler. What are you planning to sprout in the second one?

[Plant Savant @PlantSavant]

@Educated501 Happy Rose Wednesday to you too. Hope it's still blooming strong for you into the fall.

[Plant Savant @PlantSavant]

@tiefenunscharf Two-tone roses always make me look twice. Thanks for sharing this one, it's a nice midweek pick-me-up.
