I have to say nothing is in 'full' bloom for me, but I do have a whole lot of valiant plants putting out a bloom or two here and there, long after their buddies have retired for the season: honeysuckle, a couple roses, a stray elecampane bloom, a final sprig of lavendar, comfrey, chives, yarrow, couple blue hydrangeas among the dusty ones. Nothing big, just a random splash of color here and there. Makes fall clean-up a little treasure hunt. Here's an interesting annual, tagetes lucida, Mexican tarragon, which has a very definite anise scent to the leaves. As indicated by the name, a tea made from the leaves can be relaxing, a stronger one can be more so. (A bit out of focus)
