So many blooms

I've missed so many months of bloom day posts that I thought I'd  have a look to see what  blooms  are still out this month . Some of them are a bit raggedy , with all the rain recently .                                                                                                     Rabdosia longituba  often never gets a chance to bloom , it's so late that the frost gets it , or the dry weather makes it too miserable . 

Fuchsia 'whitenights amethyst'

Chrysanthemum 'Sheffield pink' from Alison 

Asters

I grew these from seed this year . Christine is more hardy , but Gregg has a better color .  Which reminds me to collect seeds from both again !
