It got so cool overnight, that I took a look at my backyards this afternoon just to check on how the plants fared after weeks of drought and above average temperatures, followed by a drop of temperature. Well, I can report back, that the end of the blooming season is near, very near.
Most of my lovely annuals are looking sad. Some of the perennials are offering me their last blooms, before they too will retire for the year.
Here are some pictures of those very last, very tired flowers. The last hurrah!

Ah, now it's working!
The Cleome, at least, will come back next year.
Hi Flatbush Gardener,
Yes, I have been collecting the seeds of the cleome for next year. I took some to Carroll Park to the border I am working on. So next year, they will be all over Smith Street.
I took cuttings of the fancy coleus to root them in the house. The colors really worked well in my garden this year.
