So here's my favorite shot from my garden right now, same as last year.
It's the super-common Sedum 'Autumn Joy' with Callicarpa (beautyberry), over a bed of Sedum acre in my hell strip.

I’m so conflicted…to add another post in support of bloom day thereby deprecating my Blog Action Day post…or just miss the bloom day…so many lovelies showing their stuff like Monkshood, Autumn Joy Sedum & Hardy Cyclamen…maybe that’s enough for today
My Autumn Joy has never looked that good. Not once. I think I don’t give it enough water (which i really to say that I don’t give it any).
Sure, this variety of sedum is super common, but many of us don’t have the palette of blooms that yours has. Nice image.
Aw Susan, just beautiful. What, no snow on the shrub?
