| 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.

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.
