photos taken October 5th 2024 of yellow marigolds with purple ornamental kale and red fall chokecherry leaves.

As we advance into October, we have reached now the glory days of marigolds and ornamental kale.  Otherwise, with the combination of warm weather and shortening days, some leaves are turning for fall while others continue to resist.

Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years, reminds us that fall flowers can come in just about every color, and that if we’re lucky we’ll get fall foliages in nearly every color too.
