Usually the 'full glory' time would be a little earlier than now, but maybe only a week or two. The most colourful time in my garden has always been the late summer. That's when the perennial phlox come out, the rudbeckia and coneflowers are still out and a few daylilies are hanging on.
Here are some pictures taken over the last few days.
