Another flourish of Peppermint Schnapps Hibiscus

Peppermint Schnapps Hibiscus is at it again. 7 to 8 feet tall and covered in blooms. They are available from several plant retailers on the web. Just google it.


Another Peppermint Schnapps in bloom.
Eucomis Autumnalis or Pineapple Lily is a native of the Drakensberg mountains in Africa. Its quite easy to grow in a sunny location and they come in a range of colors.
We have a lot of Anise Hyssop or Agastache Blue Fortune this year. Give this plant a sunny location with good composted soil and it will thrive. Pollinators love it.










An unknown late season rose decided to bloom.
Buddleia davidii 'Evil Ways' is a new introduction to the plant world. Its has bright foliage with a sharply contrasting purple flower. As with all buddleia, butterflies love 'em.
A large pink Phlox  This one grew to about 4 feet this year.
A beautiful swallowtail butterfly on white buddleia.
A pair of swallowtails on buddleia.

I'm not sure what type of swallowtail this is because it has no colorful markings.
