Flowers and fruits of the plants in Autumn seen in front of my house

Now that autumn has arrived, plants are beginning to bear fruits.

Here are some photos of flowers, fruits and buds of the plants growing in front of my house. Photos were taken on the 12th, October.

Zinnia,  This flower is called "100days grass or flower" in Japan. Its Japanese name comes from the fact that it is so hardy that it can continue to bloom for 100 days (a long period of time).

The English name probably comes from the shape of bud.  Please look at the following photo.

Skunk vine, fruits of the plant
If we injured the leaves and stems of this plant, it gives off a foul odor, hence this fact is the origin of the name "skunk vine."
