Aster "Alma Potschke"(?sp) and a blue aster which might be "Monch's Blue;"
Rosa "Knockout" put out 2 new blooms after I thought she was done for the summer; "Autumn Joy;" dahlias, marigolds, and sunflowers going strong;the wild goldenrods and Joe Pye weed at the fringe of the "Creek Garden;" and, at long last, the morning glory and a single moonflower vine are blooming. (The first planting just rotted in the wet, cold ground, I think) The cultivated goldenrod "Fireworks" is still holding out, however!

Oh, and I have butternut squashes all over the place:-).

An occasional bloom on rosa rugosa alba
Still some Japanese beetles around eating the above - don't those things ever go away? Don't they have a life span? sheesh!
A few rudbeckias still hanging out - Goldstrum in particular

I don't have a lot going on here:

A few roses
a bit of plumbago
sedums
caryopteris
pansies
a few dahlias in bud
two little cyclamen blooms

even the annuals are pooping out - just a few marigolds, nasturtiums, asarina, and petunias. Salvia Victoria is about the best looking thing in my garden at the moment - oh, and the portulacas.

Drippy, next year plant 4 o'clocks very close to your roses.
japanese beetles love the 4 o'clocks but the leaves are poison to them. Kills the @##$ things. Have had very few since I put them in, just a few holes on the 4 0'clock leaves and none on any of my roses!!!!!!! Japanese beetles where all over my roses this year till I got their new friend planted next to them. Combo looks nice too

Today I found my trycirtis in bloom. Funny though - they were white. I thought they were supposed to be white with purple spots...

:)
Dee

Somehow the list looks longer than the amount of color in the garden:
Rudbeckias
Echinacea
Gaura
Alstromeria (second time around)
Anemone 'Robustissima'
Sedum 'Autumn Joy'
Stella d'Oro daylilies
Lavender
Candy lilies (started from seed this spring, so their timing is probably way off)
Balloon flowers (ditto)
Trycirtis
Colchicum
Cyclamen
self-seeded celosia
self-seeded cynoglossum
strawberries (Tristar-- never a big harvest, but a really long one-- yum!)

and all of the annuals I actually planted...
Dahlias
Sunflowers
Heliotrope
Calibrachoa
Marigolds
Impatiens
Malva
Morning glories

This thread really is great, I see lots of people have planted either very long-blooming or very late-blooming plants. I've got the usual suspects going, and just noticed that my Cimicifuga racemosa is finally blooming. A monkshead I planted this spring is also making a nice second show.

Among the usual suspects are the indomitable verbena bonariensis, rudbeckia, nicotiana (all self-sown), fairy rose, liriope. Hydrangea: preziosa, tardiva, oak-leaf (do these count? they still look lovely tho the flowers are now deep reddish-brown) Caryopteris, gaura, a red lobelia, tunica, thyme and tender salvias round out the cast.

The abelmoschus manihot I started from seed just started blooming - what a gorgeous plant that is!

Here is a link that might be useful: Hibiscus manihot

Forgot to mention feverfew (Tanacetum) has suddenly perked up, and some indigenous asters are opening.

Some very tall cosmos have finally set buds - I guess they've been too busy growing up to flower. I hope they'll flower before frost.

Winterberry berries are turning red.

One Knockout rose is developing hips. Maybe I should have deadheaded it, but I'm curious to see what the hips are like.

Not blooms, but the silvery-grey helichrysum (unknown type from farmer's market) is very prominent.
