end of summer flowers

Many of my favorite perennials in our garden 
come into bloom at the end of the summer...
 
rudbeckia

echinacea

another rudbeckia variety
 
I love how it looks at this stage...
So spindly, like its petals are wheel spokes
that slowly start to open at the ends,
little yellow hearts
until they open all the way.
 
a late blooming rose
 
and one that's in bloom right now
 
rose of sharon

white japanese anemone
 
russian sage
 
turtleheads
 
purple asters
 
 
buddleia
 
sedum
 
water lily

 
hosta
 
sunflower
 
 
(my favorite sunflowers are the ones that the birds plant!)
 
and you guessed it... this one right here was a gift from the birds...!
