C'mon, I can't be the only one here who still has something blooming? Where's everybody gone?

Three colors of Abutilons loving the cooler weather, it seems.

Funny little NoID brassavola orchid I got at a Master Gardener plant sale a year ago. This is the third time it's bloomed so I'm not complaining, but this time it has spots on its lip which it's never had before! The red petals fade to orange, and the lip turns yellow so it's a fun one to watch.

ps. for Rachel, don't pay a lot for your first orchid - I went looking at Draculas and the one site I found with lots of them has very high prices! It's best to learn your orchid culture on a couple of inexpensive plants, so if you mess up you won't feel so bad. It's a whole different ball game from growing 'regular' plants.
