Some of the many hardy fuchsias.
F. 'Black Cherry'

Tuberous begonias bloom over a long period of time, are easy to grow and can either be thought of as annuals or the tubers can be thrown, pot and all into a dark dry place for the winter and they'll start sending up new growth in about February or March.
A shocking pink bloom on Pelargonium (geranium)
'Fragrant Cloud' rose will represent many that have put on a new flush of bloom.
Geranium 'Rozanne'
A surprise encore from the variegated Ceanothus in the hell strip.
