When the asters are in bloom you know it is fall. The Aster nova-angliae in my garden, which had previously been nibbled on by scavenging deer, is in full swing and is one of the brightest colors on the block. When I am walking home from work, I can see the brilliant purple of the asters from across the Castanea mollissima grove, which is also showing its autumn attributes by dropping delicious chestnuts. I moved the Aechmea 'Patricia' from my container and into my garden in preparation for my fall container display. It not only fills a hole from the still unsolved death of the Euphorbia, but has a fantastic architectural shape I am hoping will draw passerby into my path. The Salvia 'Lady in Red' is in full recovery from its haircut a few weeks ago and the Kniphofia is still sending up it's blooms. All in all, things are looking good!
