A few shots of early fall flowers from last weekend.
Calamagrostis xacutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’ (I think) and Sanguisorba tenuifolia. I’m usually lazy about checking names (heck, remembering names). But tonight I did a google search for Sanguisorba tenufolia and got a video of said plant waving in the breeze in front of my house from last year. I also realized that I again tried to leave out the i in tenuifolia.
Ironweed (Vernonia), goldenrod and Sorbaria, which keeps throwing out flowers.
Up close on the ironweed.
Bee working turtlehead (Chelone). Saw a bunch of white turtleheads along the edge of Owasco Inlet while canoeing there last weekend. I actually think I like the white better.
Craig,
Where did you get the Sanguisorba tenuifolia? I’ve been looking for it for years.
I think I grew it from seed that I got through the NARGS seed exchange. Which definitely means that it must not be too hard to grow from seed if even I could do it.
I’ve never tried gathering seed from it. But I can give it a shot and send you some, if you’re interested.
Hey, I saw this recently (maybe you’ve seen it?) and thought of you! Hope all is well – need to take a look at your Palin video…

must…have…that…Sanguisorba!
Gorgeous sanguisorba! YESSSSS!!
I have one white turtlehead and am enjoying it immensely, was thinking of doing a post, or at least a pic, on it soon.
This is my favorite time of year, and I love these plants. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing the photos.
