Lavender has been putting up spikes since mid-summer:
Clematis jackmanii returned for a huge rebloom:

The color isn't quite right with the flash, but a darker dahlia still looks good too:
The temperatures may dip below 32 this weekend, bringing a lot of this to a screeching halt. I've been digging in bulbs for spring, and pulling out the tropicals. I've still got to move all the orchids in, it's time to hunker down.

Great pictures!
Lots of lovely blooms in your garden--I'm convinced now that I must have a toadlily or two for next year! If the weatherman is right, we won't have much left by next week.
Nice to meet you; I noticed in your profile that you are "stuck" in Bloomington, IN. Funny that we just drove nearby on the interstate last weekend, and I commented how pretty the area around Bloomington was compared to the flat lands where I live:) But having visited the Portland area back in August, I can certainly understand your love of the Pacific Northwest--such a beautiful place!
