Well here it’s almost the middle of #October and the very last #Hibiscus in my collection has finally started to bloom. Hibiscus mutabilis. Mine is over 15 foot tall and loaded with buds😍

Salvia leucantha or Mexican brush sage really takes over the garden in autumn with big six foot tall clumps of purple spears with fuzzy white blooms calling the bees to visit 😃
