    I love when there's lots of color out there at the same time.
    Actually, that's my goal... year 'round color.

    And the Fall Aster is doing great! It's trying to take over the bed in the front of the house.

    Those plots look great, Cheryl.
    I like most Fall Asters. I know the ones that you have there. They have such a lovely tint.

    Just lovely Cheryl. I like the colours you have in your garden as well as the curved lawn.

    That's a wonderful goal Cheryl. If anyone can achieve it, you can! It looks like you already have :smt023

    It looks like you have a lot of color going on already and I also really like the large curving bed.

    I would love to have color all year long but that won't happen here. In turn I chose to add texture. After the contorted trees are nude they give a different look. When snow falls it adds even another dimension.

    Wish I could have flowers but I will have to live with texture in Winter.... :p :p

    I love seeing all of the flowers here, during my Winter.

    Beautiful beds Cheryl. I like the blue/lavender theme you have going on there.

    Thanks everyone! I think it's filling in nicely.
    Cayuga, funny you should mention the blue/purple. It's not a plan, they all seem to bloom at the same time. I want to add more orange and yellow stuff. Seems there's a lot of red/pinks too.

    Looks a lot better than ours at this time of the year.
