The knockout roses that were so profuse in mid June have stopped blooming completely. There will be a second flush, but I don't remember them taking several weeks off, with no roses at all. The day lilies are coming in, and the spraying is working, so I am getting some blooms.
Flowering now - thimbleweed and geraniums and Shasta daisies and Petite Delight magenta bee balm and the cute drumstick alliums.
The tiarella is still blooming under the deep shade of the baptisia foliage and the astilbe is blooming behind it all. Sedum and gaura complement each other in pink in front of the garage.
'Miss Manners' white obedient plant has created a very dense stand this year. It looked so much better with the pink coneflowers mixed in last year. This year there is no real conrast for the white flowers other than a lone peach colored daylily.
I love the way the bright orange butterfly weed looks with the deep puprle foliage of the 'Forest Pansy' redbud in the foregraound. I can see the 'Karl Foerster' grass peeking through.
Potted nasturtiums in the strawberry jars add to the bright colors in Meadow's Edge.
Yarrow is blooming.
