As I walked through the garden I noticed a pattern in two of our beds; red white and blue. This is Bee Balm (Monarda), Gooseneck (Lysmachia) and Nikko Blue Hydrangea. Notice the brown pile of leaves in the background? That will be mulched into a veggie garden next year.
This the other bed with red white and blue. White Annabelle Hydrangea, Nikko Blue and Pink Endless Summer Hydrangea. Large Liberty Hostas encircle the bed.
This is the fragrant bloom of Astilboides. We added another this year. When it's warm and still, the fragrance hangs in the air and surrounds the bed. Can't wait for this plant to mature and flower heavily. We bought ours from Herronswood
Although a bit hard to see in this image the Bear's Breeches (Acanthus) is happy and blooming; in the middle and just to the right.
This side of the bed was redone this year. We added about 5 yards of compost to raise the bed height, improve soil quality and include the Plum tree to the right (not seen in this image).
