Flowers, grasses, and the island

Pretty chilly out today, though there are still some beautiful flowers in bloom.

Along the Spadina Quay Wetlands, the construction fence has been hiding this pretty flower:

Black-eyed Susan?

And further west, this has come into bloom, clinging to the rocks on the south side of the gazebo:

I ... have no idea what this is.

Up along the Music Garden's maypole area, these were still in bloom too:

I'm going to need a flower identification book.

The grasses all around the maypole are all dry and full of seeds.  Usually, red-winged blackbirds are in the garden in-force all Summer making it hard to walk without getting smacked in the head.  But I have only seen a few this year.

Ornamental grass ... of some sort.

The island is turning all shades of red, yellow, and orange.  I hope to make it out there soon for some photos.
