Early July fireworks in the garden


Bright Eyes Phlox (foreground) with Grenadine Phlox (background) starting to show off.

This Rosa Flower Carpet Amber really put on a show this season.

I thought this was an interesting angle through a large Agastache Golden Jubilee (Hyssop).

This is one of the best Acanthus displays we have had in this bed.

Russian Sage (purple perovskia atriplicifolia) and red Crocosmia.

I moved this Spigelia marilandica to a sunnier location and it was much happier. Still not as big and full as it should be but next year we'll have a solid display.

Classic purple Echinacea.



































You can't go wrong with a few Butterfly bushes (Buddleia davidii) in the garden. I decided not to trim the height on this one and its now about 8 to 10 feet tall.





























A large bed of Gooseneck Loosestrife (Lysimachia clethroides).

A closeup of a Gooseneck.


































The Grace Smoke Tree at peak "smoke." Cotinus Grace is a hybrid between American smoke tree Cotinus obovatus and Cotinus coggygria Velvet Cloak.



























A pair of perfect yellow Calla Lily.



































St. John's Wort Golden Rule (Hypericum calycinum).

































Loosestrife Lythrum virgatum Morden Pink coming into flower.

Light pink Astilbe. 




































Niobe Clematis still giving us a show.



































This is the flower of Nandina Domestica. These turn into poisonous red berries. This plant should be avoided if you have small children.
