The waning garden. September ushers in fall.

The initial test with Bugbane (Cimicifuga cordifolia americana) was quite successful. Other varieties have foul smelling flowers but this variety is pleasant. This bloom is about 8 inches long. The flower spikes can grow over 6 feet tall. We will definitely be planting more of these gems.

Between the impatiens and fern is good 'ol grocery store ginger (Zingiber officinale).
