What blooms? October 6

I got back to town last night! Today I did another yard survey of blooming plants, and found Miner's lettuce newly in bloom. Several plants stopped blooming, and I assume the lists for the rest of this year will simply record the decline in blooms as the season ends.

As before, I saw almost all these plants in the front yard only; I'll mark plants in bloom in both front and back yard with a *.

  • Calendula
  • Arugula
  • Yarrow *
  • Foxglove
  • Lavendar
  • Garden Strawberry
  • Alpine strawberry
  • Bowle's Black violet (back yard)
  • Weedy mallow (Malva neglecta?) (back yard)
  • Oregano
  • Peppermint (back yard)
  • Tomato *, Tomatillo *, Wonderberry (Solanum x burbankii)
  • Unknown yellow-flowered weed
  • Lingonberry
  • Basil
  • Echinacea
  • Daisy
  • Radish?
  • Borage
  • Edible chrysanthemum
  • Monarda (in a pot, probably M. didyma) survived)
  • Sunflower
  • Squash *
  • Jerusalem artichoke (Red Rover)
  • Scorzonera
  • Perennial Chamomile
  • Beans (back yard)
  • Cardoon (neighbor's yard)
  • Comfrey
  • Campanula rapunculoides?
  • Nasturtium
  • St. John's Wort
  • Alfalfa
  • Zebra mallow
  • Dandelion
  • Fennel
  • Red clover
  • Wolfberry (back yard only)
  • Maximillian sunflower (back yard only)
