Carpingdiem

It's getting cooler. Tonight it will be 51F/10C. Here are some of the last of the wildflowers I will see this year. I miss them already.

This is the pea partridge plant, also known as the "sensitive plant" because its leaves will move when you touch them. It has pretty yellow flowers that look vaguely like pea flowers.
This is tall coreopsis (also known as tickseed). It is a medium sized flower with bright yellow petals and a brown center. On the left flower is a small dark brown bee with yellow stripes on its abdomen, probably a tripartite sweat bee.
These are my favorite fall flowers, New England asters. The plants can grow more than 6 feet/2 meters in height. The flowers range from pink to purple in color with orange to yellow centers. They are abundant, and usually described as "showy," which I take to mean that they are striking.

@lenahallesaale How interesting. I find these plants growing by the side of the road, in neglected lots near water and in parks with wild meadows. Nurseries sell versions of these plants, but most people do not put native plants in their gardens.
