Last weekend's photos

Dahlia "David Howard" - a new addition to the hot border this year and I love it!  It supposedly can reach up to 6' tall, although mine is only between 3-4'.  I prefer the more contained height so I don't have to bother with staking.  But it has the most gorgeous bronze foliage set against spectacular bronze-orange flowers.  Truly a beautiful dahlia.

The beginning of the fall display; we produced a few pumpkins this year.  Halloween decorating still to come!

"Sweet Autumn" clematis (clematis paniculata) - a late bloomer, having only just fully opened within the past week or so.  Hardy and can grow up to 30' tall.  The above mass is a single plant.
