There are lots of flowers that prefer cooler temperatures...
Roses that didn't do so well during the hot summer may put out some September blooms before the first cold snap. Asters and Shasta daisies like cooler weather, as do Chrysanthemums and pansies. If you have anything left of calendulas, if you cut them back now you'll have blooms into October. You can start Kale, ornamental cabbage, edible cabbages, and lettuces in August for autumn salads and color. Where we live in California, peas and lima beans are grown over the winter for spring harvesting.
Better Homes and Gardens seasonal "Garden Shed" magazine, Sunset Magazine, and Country Homes' "Country Garden" magazine all have back issues with lists of fall plants and flowers for your climate zone. They can be found for free at your local library and you can find most of those plants listed at your local garden center ready to go on sale to make way for the Christmas trees! Fall is a great time to plant perennials, so do some homework and have fun.
Good luck.

I love the following plants because they are drought resistant and are also perennials. Perennials as you may know come back every year and they just get more beautiful each year too, you don;t have to keep buying plants each season to keep color and excitement to your yard or garden.Try some moonbeam coreopsis, purple cone flower, lamb's ears, maiden grass, blue fescue, "Autumn Joy" sedum, daisies (michaelmas), new england asters,...... The list can go on. I would look on-line for some free flower catalogs and pick you out some hardy tolerant perennial plants, alot of the times you can get really great plant that no one else has and have fun experimenting with new plants. Good luck and happy planting.
