As usual, her feline highness Katherine (aka Kitty) provides oversight, as this is her domain.A doughty Zinnia holds out as the morning glories close in; this struggle is still ongoing, but we removed most of the MGs this weekend, hoping some cold nights are coming to aid in reclaiming the occupied territory.Many of the late roses have at least a few days of glamour, especially when there’s a morning shower to help with accessorizing.My favored feral ones, Oxalis, still shines on us from low in the grass roots.
The yellow/green combo in Japonica seems to go well with the roses.These asters are one of the smallest and latest of bloomers, but they bring brightness back to The Yard, and are of some help to the last umbering bumblebees.

Thanks, Joyce. I’m no photographic whiz, but the folks who designed my Iphone are.
I was hoping for a closer look at the prickly pear fruits. Gonna harvest?
