Fall Resurgence

These golden barberries were looking near death just a couple weeks ago. I thought they were done for, but lately they've been coming back with fresh, bright leaves.

These cosmos are looking healthier--bushier and greener--than they've looked all summer. The shorter days seem to be agreeing with them. We've had so few cloudy, let alone rainy, days this summer that many of my plants have been very stressed.
