Scanner art by Craig Cramer, gardening & more
Herbaceous perennials I grow.
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)
More image dumps from the weekend…
Monkshood
Monkshood up close
The floating clouds of fall sedums. Piet Oudolf is big on umbel and umbel-like inflorescences. Note to self: I need more.
I’ve got a nice patch of a cute little allium I thought I’d lost in the rock garden. Hard to shoot.
And, of course, some more anemones
A couple of fare-to-middlin’ frosts. It’s starting to feel like fall, what with moving pots to shelter and bulb- and garlic planting.
Water garden in morning sun with mist rising off beaver pond.
The (mostly) grass border along the north edge of the veggie garden.
Wish I remembered the cultivar on this grass.
Frosted phlomis seedheads.
Frost on dahlia.
My favorite mixed container this year. Looks better now that I pulled it out of the weeds.
And the obligatory ridge at sunrise.
Anemones continue to be my favorite fall flower. These are from the ‘secret garden’ tucked into a courtyard near the Liberty Hyde Bailey Conservatory on the south side of the Plant Science building at Cornell. Click images larger views.

A little early. Because I have time now, and maybe not later.
Having recently posted about managing expectations with heucheras (Graham Rice blogs about some tough new introductions coming next year), I thought it might be nice to try to scan them. (There are some heucherallas in the mix, too.) I didn’t dry them off first, so there’s some harsh reflection off the water on the leaves and scanner bed.
Warm blooms.
Pinks and purples.
Grasses. Tough to capture them on a little scanner bed.
