My bare front bed now that the raucous zinnias are gone. The canvas awnings are down for winter too, so my house looks dramatically different.
One ageratum still hanging on. Here's the cordyline "red sensation" which I got from Lowe's on clearance for $4. It will be another experiment for overwintering. I have read that propagating the plant is easy by cutting the stem into little logs and placing them sideways in shallow water. Not sure I want to hack the plant up but it's a thought.
