SO many pretty flowers even in OCT.
Cleome didn't self sow for me very well either, with bare soil in my messy veg garden. (oops typo, I almost wrote "self cow" !! ha ha)
Woo hoo-over here Roses LOL -the cardinal climber pic was mine. stormyla, I think Gita and I are talking about the same thing. In the morning glory family ( I think) wiht very divided leaves. It has been mostly foliage until lately.These flowers are small but intensely colored to the point that its hard to get a really true picture-or I am not that good!

Montauk daisies are in the chysanthemum family--the leaf texture is almost fleshy/ leathery. Cuttings/ divisions are the way to go. Then do NOT cut back late in spring like I did, boo hoo- very few blooms! Most say cut back in early spring, but one lady tol d me she doesn't cut back at all and now has sort of bushes. stormyla, what do you do?
