Color is still lingering int the garden!
1/ Penstemon barbatus
2/ Prickly pear with mature fruit. The pads are starting to pump out excess water becoming lax and wrinkled for the winter months.
3/ Euphorbia x martinii 'Ascot Rainbow' is at it's best with cooler temps.

Thank you! I love this bush. It's very common cultivar Berberis thunbergii 'Atropurpurea Nana'. It has a little red berries in the autumn and small yellow flowers in spring.
Awesome! I love that Berberis bush and omg! You have cactus apples too, Ron!

Are you gonna peel them and eat them or just burn the prickles off?

The pears are edible but are mostly seeds. I have to rub off the tiny barbs, but I think your suggestion of burning them off would work well!
They have a bland flavour and not sweet with around 26 seeds per fruit!
I think after a couple of frosts they will become sweeter!
