When you think about fall flowers, pansies, mums and asters are what many people think of. But there is a myriad of plants that bloom in the fall or begin blooming in summer and will continue through fall, often up until we get our first frost.
Here is a sampling of some of the plants blooming in our sales houses yesterday.
Abutilon 
Cyclamen 
Farfugium 
Gaillardia 
Gloxinia 
Nierembergia 
Oxalis 
Tradescantia 
Silene 
Tecomaria 
Verbena
I love the way the Abutilon makes a pattern with its petals that allows the green sepals to show through; always wondered if that is a pattern recognized by pollinators? And that Gallardia is wonderful; I am used to the red and yellow ray flowers, love the pink! Thank you for reminding us that fall is not the end of flowers in bloom.
