Autumn Wildflowers of Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden
"The blooming plants seem to have saved up a great deal of surplus vitality for the grande finale as tho to compensate for the bleak season ahead". Martha Crone
Thumbnails of some of the autumn flowering plants that you may encounter on a visit between Sept 1st and mid-October. Not all will be in bloom during this entire period of time; some are just ending their late summer bloom in early September. See the separate page of thumbnails of autumn seeds and fruits that you may see during this time period. Click on the plant name link for more photos and information on each plant.
