Mid-August Flowers

The flower beds are in a new phase... winding down...














I still have a few flowers, like the echinacea...














... and the cheery brown-eyed Susans, which some neighbors consider weeds...














I love their brightness! (I think they're a kind of daisy.)














I was surprised to see the knautia in bloom again!














The sedum that brightens the flower beds with its red foliage - long after all the other flowers are gone - is already turning pink (a sure sign of fall!)














I'm not ready to see the blooming season end! Maybe I need to make a trip to the nursery - to find more late summer flowers to add to the yard!
