More from the weekend image dump …
Abutilon pictum ‘Thompsonii’ (I think. Finally looked it up tonight by googling variegated abutilon and mostly got images from my own blog. And discovered I’d been misspelling it all these years.)
Slightly different view.
Up close.
Bittersweet
Sanguisorba tenuifolia (Burnet)
I love arbutilons but I remember growing them only as display stands for millions of white flies. Do you keep yours outside? How do you carry them over winter?
Jim: We’re about two zones too cold to overwinter them outside. I cut them back and put them in a bright, cool, unused bedroom overwinter. So far, no white flies.
Lovely. I’m so enjoying the fall gardens.

I’ve grown abutilon as an annual – I didn’t know I could overwinter it. Thanks for that info – maybe I’ll try again this next year. I love it in containers with other things – the foliage and flowers are always so pretty. Great photos this post, too.
