My Foggy Garden in October

October was a pretty good month in my garden.
The green color was predominent with splashes of yellow here and there.

The garden looked special in the fog - tranquil and quiet.

Aralia (Fatsia japonica) feels at home here, in the Pacific Northwest.
 It's one of my favorite plants.

Japanese anemone (Wind flower) 'Honorine Jobert'

Lacecap Hydrangea Angel's Blush turned its flowers from white to pink

I was surprised to see several flowers on the Rhododendron 'Honey Butter'.
 I hope it will bloom in spring too.

This dahlia's color doesn't go well with most of my plants, but looks pretty when alone.

The cutting garden is first to surrender to the fall.

Many dry perennials (eupatorium, monarda, verbena, penstemon, etc.) are left for the birds to feed on their seeds.

Shrub roses and salvia still keep some color.

Meadow Rue (Thalictrum rochebrunianum) 

Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop'

Salvia

Euphorbia graminea 'Diamond frost' looks good even now, at the beginning of November

This birdbath might be the most photographed thing in my garden

Fuchsia in baskets is still blooming

There were many foggy days, mornings and evenings in October this year.
Fog makes everything look different, and I enjoyed strolling through the garden.
