Don’t forget to plant late-blooming plants for pollinators.
They don’t have much to eat this time of year.
Also, new podcast episode on @thegardenangelists! This week, it’s tulips. If you haven’t bought your bulbs, you should before they run out.
The first picture is a honey bee on Bluebird aster. The second is a Monarch on Rose Marvel salvia. It reblooms if you deadhead.
Number is an Orange Sulphur on Fireworks gomphrena, and number four is a Fiery Skipper on Mexican bush sage.

Hurry little Monarchs! It’s time to go to Texas and then down Mexico way.
Big cold front headed to Oklahoma.
These Monarch butterflies were enjoying Stachytarpheta 'Nectarwand Red'
(Nectarwand Red False Vervain) that I bought from Bustani Plant Farm.
After the front the weather will warm up for any stragglers.

My pink muhly bed that faces the street.
I was trying to stop traffic or at least slow it down.
What do you think? Did it work?
Check out my story for butterflies including Monarchs. They love Salvia leucantha as do my honey bees.

Gulf Fritillary on some scorching hot red zinnias. These are ‘Oklahoma Scarlet,’ and I grew them from seed this spring in spite of the torrential rains that washed away my cutting garden over and over. I’m glad I persevered for this little butterfly.
The Oklahoma zinnia series from Benary Seeds is very, very mildew resistant and comes in separate colors these days. Thank goodness! Because I hate that icky golden yellow color in the mix. Ha!
I bought my seeds from @johnnys_seeds. They have the separated colors.
Fall is a great time for adult butterfly watching in Oklahoma.
Don’t pull up your annual flowers yet.

The highlight of my September/October garden is my Muhlenbergia capillaris, pink muhly grass, Salvia leucantha, Mexican bush sage, and Fireworks gomphrena, but we mustn’t forget Alabama Sunset coleus either.
