...which are being enjoyed by the remaining bumblebees as well as by me.
Elm-leaved goldenrods (Solidago ulmifolia) are still blooming, although their sparkler-like yellow blooms are starting to fade. Behind it are some blurry big-leaved asters (Eurybia macrophylla), which have had a banner year. They started blooming back around July and they're just now finishing and going to seed. I'm hoping the new ones I planted this spring make great strides next year and I'll have a mass of these plants very soon.
Late-season non-natives are in their final flourishes as well, such as these toad lilies, Tricyrtis 'Tojen', passalongs from Mr. McGregor's Daughter...
...and of course it wouldn't be fall without a mum!

Yep, we're in the final movement Rose! In the meantime, I love your Elm-leaved goldenrods. The blooms are so delicate and pretty. I'm with you on the mums - fall's not the same without them.
Cute little toad lily! How do you keep the bunnies from eating your asters? The big-leafed, the Short's, the smooth blue, and the NOIDS with the teeny tiny white blooms - without a fence, they all get eaten to the ground here.
Love those sweet little toad lilies! If your asters are like mine, all those seeds will turn into masses of plants next year. Yes, it won't be long until this year's garden is just a memory, so it's a great time to enjoy these last blooms while we can.
Toad Lily - beautiful!
Lovely post...you can't go wrong with Asters and Goldenrods...so perfectly evocative of fall!

Neighbor's rose is blooming at the Jersey Shore.
