A few more.... Some of the Purslane is still looking particularly lovely. This one is Rio Scarlet.

This really cool, but now rather tired, tropical Hibiscus... I love the different coloured blooms on it!

Now, this is really neato. Over the years, we have used 2 particular rows of tables in the greenhouse for the Petunias. Well, they apparently really like it there 'cause they have self-sown and this year, with NO encouragement whatsoever, we have a new crop... and we never even PUT any Petunias there this year!!! These are self-sown from last year -- amazing!

Y'all might remember that I had to cut most everything in my own front bed waayyy back for the Orkin man... that was just at the beginning of this month. Well, the Platycodon's were cut back to about 5" tall or so. Look at them now!
