There’s something sort of bittersweet about the last flowers of summer and early fall….

Asters abound….

and come in many colors…

some flowers have one last bloom like these mallows…

and these cardinal flowers….

There are a few small sunflowers still blooming, looking lovely against a backdrop of goldenrod…

and then there is this flower, that I don’t know the name of….

but which is so beautiful….

This is the time to get out and enjoy the last of the flowers….some will be around a few weeks longer but sadly most will be gone by mid October…
