Labor Day Weekend and the start of cooler temperatures.

This was a moment in time photo. I shot it this morning. A ray of sun was beaming perfectly through the clouds on these roses. Notice how dark the background is and that nothing else is illuminated. These are Henry Fonda Hybrid Tea Roses.

We have no idea what variety this is but it's a nice rose.

Good old hardy Hibiscus Kopper King. Normally the blooms are light pink.  This one is nice because its mostly white.

The oddly named Obedient Plant (Physostegia virginiana) is anything but. It will spread fast if not controlled. We give it free reign because we like the blooms. It also attracts hummingbirds.

This is a first year Limelight or PeeGee Hydrangea.  We aren't sure.  We will probably know next year when it blooms on all the new wood.

I trimmed back the Annabelle and this Endless Summer Hydrangea put out a dainty new bloom. What a nice surprise.

Goldenrod, the South Carolina State Wildflower, is starting to pop. We had a large grouping of this plant but sheared it back to keep it low. That almost killed it off. It came back this season but needs more sun.
