| Snakeroot (Eupatorium rugosum 'Chocolate') and Bear's Breeches (Acanthus mollis) |
I am starting off Bloom Day with one of my favorite plants at the moment -
Eupatorium rugosum 'Chocolate' (aka 'Snakeroot'). This is a plant that a co-worker recommended and it is lovely right now in the shady border under the dogwood tree. Next to it is Bear's Breeches (
Acanthus mollis) which is also beginning to look good but it hasn't bloomed yet).
Other bloomers in the mid-October garden -

| My favorite coreopsis - 'Red Satin' |

we moved in. They are in a bad spot though and I want to transplant
them.
