Asters.

 

 

Sedum.

 

Purple thistles backed by Spanish broom.

 

Spicy scented marigolds.  Grown from seeds.  I adore this garden staple.

 

A blue blossomed ground cover whose name I can’t remember.  Perennial.  My favorite.

 

 

Happy happy zinnias.  Who can look at a zinnia and not smile?  If there is a person like that, I don’t want to meet them!
