Grand Finale late in the 2012 season
I think the difference in flower color from the previous year is because I'm using a better camera.

And the last batch of Grand Finale from the 2013 season
The cluster of plants in this garden was destroyed by voles last winter. I have a few fragments in pots. I need to redo the garden with wire baskets at some point.
