| Purple Coneflower Echinacea |
 |
| Monkshood - this is getting crowded out, not its usually display. |
 |
| Some of my healthier phlox |
 |
| Strawberry Fields Daylily |
 |
| What a cheery face! |
 |
| Purple Millet - not beautiful, but eye catching nonetheless. |
 |
| Blue phlox, and yes in early morning light this is true to colour |
 |
| Blazing star liatris - more like a little smolder this year. |
 |
| Dahlia - okay dahlia experts, why all plant no bloom this year? |
 |
| Spider plant cleome - one of my favourite annuals |
 |
| Blue dianthus - an experiment last year (biennual) |
 |
| Daylilies in front of my red leafed birch and golden glow. |
 |
| Magenta Phlox |
 |
| Golden Glow/Outhouse Flowers - the only decent stalk left - wiped out by powdery mildew. |
 |
| Hydrangea - a good topdressing of bonemeal in March |
 |
| One of the many hostas in flower. Can't decide whether hosta flowers are really a focal point or not? |
And that is about all I have to say for today.
Musings and meanderings from the Musical Gardener.
One cleome today, thousands next year. They do reseed themselves very well. Although I do like them, they take over and it took me years to get rid of them. If I had a field, I would plant those and Cosmos all over.
ReplyDeleteActually here in Canada, we get very few that ever reseed. I wish a few more would. I find them extremely difficult to start from seed in the house. I've done the freezing and thawing bit, but never had any success.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. Your garden must attract a lot of butterflies.
