More fall flowers....

There's something sort of bittersweet about the last flowers of summer and early fall....

Asters abound....
and come in many colors...
some flowers have one last bloom like these mallows...
and these cardinal flowers....
There are a few small sunflowers still blooming, looking lovely against a backdrop of goldenrod...
and then there is this flower, that I don't know the name of....
but which is so beautiful....

This is the time to get out and enjoy the last of the flowers....some will be around a few weeks longer but sadly most will be gone by mid October...

    Hi Mary!

    your pictures are lovely! I love the pink ones! Unbelievably my rambling rose is still blooming. I was really happy about that this morning :)

    Glorious fall flowers! Great shot of the asters. Many of mine are still blooming too. Your last flower is perennial gladiolus, Gladiolus murielae.

    Thanks,
    Nanina

    Your mystery flower is also called, or used to be called, Acidanthera, a member of the lily family - and it has the most wonderful fragrance when you get in close!

    I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
