final color

of mums in the yard, before the cold really set in-

these pics are from a week ago, they're fading now already.

My favorite of the three, although it is the smallest.

They did end up flopping over

or leaning- I think because reaching for light. Or I should have pinched three times after all.

The osteospermum daisies, I lost all the cuttings I took. Got moldy. The ones in the yard still, lasted far longer into the cold than I expected, even grew little sprigs of new leaves. Maybe they will survive to spring.
