Just finished fall clean-up in my back yard. Even though I love autumn, I feel bad when my garden looks so bare and empty. It was an absolutely beautiful day to be outside. My Japanese Maple is a blaze of red and I love the plumes on the grasses in the back. They don't get cut back until spring.
Sedum "Autumn Joy" .... my favorite autumn flower. In a week or so they will be a beautiful rust color and the seed heads will last all winter. They also dry well for flower arrangements. When I was younger and had my greenhouse going, I grew mums from cuttings. I would have a great show of color about now. I did buy two yellow mums for baskets that I put on my front porch.
