Holly, there is yellow and also blue in those water plants just not showing their colors yet!
Here is a day lily that is really showing off this year. Don't have the name,(lost it). Bad gardener! : (
Show your Yellows.
red okra
one of my favorite blossoms
My version of tuberous begonia... (night shot)
A pretty chartruese (yellowish?) coleus...
Black-eyed Susan near my deck (with Russian Sage)
Get ready for more yellows. Ragwort.
Sanvitalia. This is such a pretty little plant and it bloomed all spring & summer but seems to have wore itself out & is dying. I keep sprinkling the dead flowers over the planter, hoping that it will sprout next year & give me this pretty display.
This is such a pretty flower. Trollius.
Winter Aconite
Oops. Sorry bout that. There ya go.
And an unknown pretty yellow flower that came up from a seed mixture.
My lantana has spread like crazy
This grows wild in my yard. Yellow Salsify. I also have it in Purple.
Yellow Callicabroa are nice.
Daylily: Hemerocallis, “Hyperion”
buddleia (butterfly bush)
pennefeather...is your lantana an annual?
Wind, I'm not sure. It is supposed to be perennial till zone 7. I am assuming that it wont come back. This is from the five small plants that I bought from an ebay nursery earlier this year for under $10. I also tried to grow them from seed, but no luck.
Since they are very expensive here ($4 - 5 each), I am going to try to winter some over, and take cuttings.
I love your buddelia. I think that I am going to spend the winter redesigning my garden so that I can get some more plants that I like in it. There is going to be a lot less grass next year!
My neighbor has some lantana in pots that he just puts in his garage for the winter... unheated, but they don't freeze, and I don't think they get any light or even any water until spring... they just go dormant. I've got a pretty pink little lantana that I'm planning to do the same with, although I might give it a cup of water every month or so.
I overwintered a yellow lantana last year by a basement window. Also found that cuttings would root super easily in water.
Texas Rainbow cactus bloom
Beautiful cactus bloom, Chantell.
Yellow glad out of a mixed bag of twenty. I love the "What color will it be?" surprises these bring.
Not only is that Glad a beauty but the field behind it - is making me hungry!!
LOL Yes, the corn is doing well this year. Not sure how with the crazy weather we've been having, but it is.

Just a few humble little marigolds. These are hanging out down in the garden near the pumpkins.
These are hanging out with the Lantana right next to the Gazebo. The butterflies really like them, too.
Very pretty, Holly!
These guys can hang with the "BIG" boys. They are 2 ft tall and making friends with the 4:00's.
Ok, I'm ready for my close-up. I may be humble but I'm pretty. LOL
Hey Chris, They must be happy in their new location. Thanks Holly
Critter, These are some of your Not Chocolate daisies. I think?
Looks like! It'll come back even bigger and more loaded with blooms next year... mine have been blooming nonstop since June!
and here they are with some Black-eyed Susan's. I think RIc picked the BES up somewhere not sure if it was at the swap or someplace else.
Critter or anyone, Do you know anything about my Big Marigolds. Ric brought a few home from work. The guy that gave them to him said they are "wild" marigolds. They are a good 2 ft high and I think they are perennial or reseed.
Marigolds do seem to reseed easily, and I think some of the shorter varieties might be hybrids, so maybe when hybrid marigolds reseed they come back taller in subsequent years? I'm just guessing...
So glad it is blooming for you, Holly. It will take over if you let it.
Double Yellow Daturas I got two of these plants from Gita at the swap and boy have they grown and they are loaded with blooms.
A different view. They are a little more yellow than they photographed. Flash must have washed them out alittle.
like the datura...we had a pink one and it got too infested with I forget what ~ had to get rid of it ~ I miss it and hope to get another datura someday. I like the yellow, sort of frilly too. Our pink was just a straight trumpet, no frill.
This is a picture of blooms on a new plant for us this yr called Firecracker Bush. Any comments about it? Not sure if it will survive, but I'm going to bring it in to over winter. I got it for the hummers :)
Graham Thomas English Rose
It's nice to see a few end of season blooms again :)
I used to always cut off the rose hips but now I'm leaving them for the birds, but frankly, I've never seen a bird eat any!
