Are you already dreaming of next year?

For the most part the leaves have changed color. Some have fallen. I enjoy the great combination of a bright yellow maple leaf on my bright purple kale. The Miscanthus are looking terrific, as are the Pennisetums, Saccharums, and Stipa brachytricha (ornamental grasses).

But I must admit that I am already anxious for spring to arrive. I can't wait to see the 20 or so new iris I have planted, the new roses that I haven't even placed the order for yet, and the 50 Purple Sensation Allium bulbs I planted a few weeks ago.
