Kale Rose
At this time of year you often see rose-like ornamental cabbage and kale amid the bold asters and mums. Kale has the frilly edges. It gets more colourful as it gets colder and it is edible.

Joe-Pye Weed
Native to Eastern North America, Joe-Pye weed – Eutrochium purpureum – grows everywhere in Southern Ontario. Named after an Indian healer from New England, Joe Pye used this plant to treat various ailments leading to people naming it after him. This is a view at Medway Creek where it grows profusely.
