The deck was looking pretty bleak but I pulled up all of the summer flowers that were well past their prime and stuck in a few chrysanthemums and asters, so that extended the color for a few more weeks. I think those chilis are either going to be covered or sacrificed to Jack Frost very soon.
Although I didn't get a photo, there were actually six or eight monarchs fluttering around those flowers. Maybe they were traveling together and just stopped in for a refill before they traveled on their way yesterday.
