I still am fascinated by the Virgin Bower seed heads .. such curly wild hair ? You have to laugh at it : )
Morden Sunrise is holding its own by way of my neglect. That is the key point of having it really .. I know it can look after itself and still look absolutely beautiful ! I have a little Summersweet shrub by it .. along with Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hamelin' .. how is that for a mouth full of it ? .. I love ornamental grasses so they are a mainstay in all of my gardens.
And of course my Helenium accompanied by Sir Stork .. there is far too little sun in what was a sun area now ... so relocation is a must soon. Things changed far faster than I could have accounted for ... darn !

Love all your stuff(-: I pulled a ton of Crocosmia 'Lucifer' out when I got home from work. They were in need of moving but then I decided they might be moving out of my yard...lol They need more sun too and were not blooming at all this year so out they go to a new place.(-: It could also be cuz they were over crowded. Although I have had a bad year with a lot of plants so who knows. I will try moving them to a sunny location for next year.
Cleaning day--well that's boring. It does have to be done. Even though I started pumpkining, I had to get the necessary stuff out of the way first so I could do the fun stuff. I want to make these cute pumpkins out of tin cans--just paint them all different colors of orange--then make the face. Put a tea light inside...doesn't it sound cute!!!
I saw a lot of Joe Pye Weed this weekend up in the mountains. It reminds me of sedum on a pole..lol.
Anna .. I'm sure I saw that craft on Martha one year .. I never watch her show EXCEPT for Halloween things because she is a Halloween NUT too .. take pictures .. and YES ! Joe Pye is like that ! .. too funny !!!
Cindee .. it sounded like you were having a bad year all round with your garden .. that is the pits .. maybe next year things will sort themselves out ?? Hope so !
Next year I have to seriously divide all of my perennials. My garden is so overgrown this year and things are not blooming as robustly. Guess I'd better spend the winter getting in shape!
The helenium is a nice color. I should grow that, it is a tough plant and quite tolerant of drought.
The clematis seed heads are interesting. Do they keep thru the winter in dried arrangements?

That is my hair actually! It's short now. But when it was long, Katy bar the door! Looked like I'd perpetually stuck my finger in a light socket!
