  Thanks, Mom. With luck, maybe the flowers will last until Thanksgiving. Loved the pics you sent of your trumpet flower. It seems to have survived and thrived. 🙂

  Thanks, Lana. Bright new life in a dying season feels like a second chance. Being off my regular schedule has allowed me to learn and play around with some new forms, including this one. Other favorites are the cascade, triolet, and kyrielle. 🙂

    Wow….and I don’t even know what those are, lol. I’ll be waiting for you to show us. I agree about autumn flowers, it’s like a last hurrah before frost. I have beautiful roses and Lantana blooming right now.
