Harbingers of Fall - Part I - Eupatorium
I don't know about you, but I tend to garden merrily along, somehow feeling that the gardening season will just go on and on until, one day, I look up and certain plants have come into bloom that always warn me that time is getting short.

Broad Leafed Evergreens - Kalmia
Kalmia, or Mountain Laurel, is one plant whose buds are just as neat and lovely as the open flowers. Sometimes the buds are a completely different color from the open flower, and since the flowers don’t open all at one time, the effect can be very lively. It is one of the most beautiful of native U.S. shrubs in flower.
