The First Day Of Autumn

“Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile."
John Howard Bryant

Colchicum in the rock garden



Crocus cartwhrightianus 'Marcel'

Well it's the first day of Autumn, and the saffron is blooming. So the summer I guess I am free to summarize now, it was a wetter then normal summer, and September was the same. I think it was much more humid on the average than it has been in a long time. It should be interesting to see what the winter has in store!
