In the Display Gardens; Autumn Crocus, Sedum and ferny fennel
Monarch caterpillars like to eat the Fennel, we planted Butterfly plants, Aesclepias incarnata, nearby to attract them
Asters are at their flowery best in October, here is Aster tartaricus with New England Aster in the background
We grow many open pollinated Dahlias from seed every year which bring many surprises in flower shape and color, like this un-named beauty.
