I love having the historic Minns Garden right outside the building where I work. It’s got great bones. But I’ll admit that there are so many things going on in there that my eyes glaze over when I walk by or through. I needed a break from a Saturday morning session in the office today. So I decided to make the most of it and take a closer look.

Two entries in name that plant today.
This annual popped up near where I was hoping some cerinthe I grew in a container last year might be seeding around. Now that it’s flowering, even I know it’s not cerinthe. Name that plant.
This iconic WPA poster is so iconic, I can’t pin a name on the plant. Is it modeled after a real plant, or just an abstraction>

It’s official. It’s fall. The signs are everywhere.
I can’t wait to add some fall pix to my time-lapse stack.
Love the way this hybrid hazelnut colors up next to the driveway.
The ornamental grasses are coming into their own.
More colchicum. Looks like I have four decent patches, three different varieties.
Aconitum (monkshood) finally flowering, a sure sign of fall.
Elephant ears starting to lose their chlorophyll, with a little backlighting.
