Was out in the yard earlier looking around at what is left of the flowers. I saw these two day lilies almost gone. The blooms are spent and that is all for 2020.
But they will return next spring. The perennials always get cut back at the end of the summer. And they return in the spring.
The rain helped these blooms last longer than usual this year. Hopefully we will have the same amount of rain next year.

Our lilies are all gone, it's sad to see them go! They are so beautiful, yet we have a promise they'll be back in the spring

You don't have any late summer or fall blooming plants? The magnolia tree in my front yard still has nice blooms on it, and the azaleas are still covered in flowers, although most of the blooms are starting to finally drop off. A few of the crape myrtles still have blooms, but most have dropped their flowers now.
