More fall blooms

Here are a few shots of more perennials that are blooming in the Alberta Perennial Trials at the Calgary Zoo this week. It just goes to show that colour in the garden doesn’t have to end when summer is over. Even when we finally get frost (possibly this weekend), these plants will still be blooming!
