IT IS ORANGE AND THE DEEP
PURPLE.

COLORS WORK WITH FALL AS WELL.

COLORS AND SOME OF THEM HAVE
ORANGES AND YELLOWS AND REDS.

PLANTS AND THEN I PUT IT IN THE
SPOT AND THEN I ADDED A FEW
PANSIES AROUND THE EDGE.

THIS LITTLE BASKET HAS SOME
ASTERS AND MOM'S AND IT WHICH
COULD BE IN A CONTAINER AND
THEN PLANTED IN THE YARD LATER
OR YOU CAN USE THEM THERE ALSO.
>> ARE THESE GRASSES OVER HERE?
>> THERE IS A GRASS IN HERE AND
THESE ARE PERENNIALS.
TRADITIONALLY PERENNIALS ARE
THE PLANTS THAT COME BACK YEAR
AFTER YEAR AND FALL IS A GREAT
TIME TO PLANT PERENNIALS.
THE COOL NIGHTS AND THE WARM
DAYS ARE PERFECT FOR THEM TO
GET SETTLED BEFORE THE WINTER.
AND SOME OF THEM HAVE COLOR.
THIS IS AUTUMN JOY, AND THEN WE
HAVE THIS ONE, WHICH IS A
SELECT PLANT.
