First Bloomin Tuesday and Outdoor Wednesday of Autumn. I'm not ready for the growing season to be coming to and end. BUT I am very ready for cooler weather.
Last week I posted that I was VERY surprised to see this Lantana not blooming lavender... (honestly messing with my mind)

Found the name of this one.
Sky Flower (Sedum Autumn Joy in background)
Bought two of these. At .82 cents I couldn't refuse.
They will give some needed height.

Looks wonderful...not ready for the season to end either...we are fortunate enough to have some color year round here though. Cooler temps would be welcomed for sure. I LOVVE the pink coneflower!!! I wonder if it will reseed? That would be a nice bonus for you!
It is the season (at least here) for the purple lantana to perk up and start blooming again. It sort of hibernates all summer. The pink cone flower is really nice!

Don't you love getting plants so cheap? Yours look full grown already, it should be beautiful next year. Love the pink color of the coneflower. jean
I love cone flowers. I lost my lantana that Mom gave me and also lost the one hubby's mom gave me. They bloomed all different colors.
The photo with the autumn joy sedum in the background, the plant you are calling angel tears is, I think, duranta repens. If it is, after the purple blooms, it will get beautiful orangey-yellow berries, quite spectacular! My aunt gave me one and this is my first year growing it, and it is a knockout!
Beautiful flowers! I love the Sy Flower and the Pink Cone Flower! They are just lovely in their colors!
What a beautiful garden you have! I love lantana and all the butterflies it attracts.
Thank you for sharing photos of your lovely garden with us.
