Blooming' Away!

My plants are all still producing plenty of flowers.

I really love this pretty red dahlia.  It's a nice strong color that worked well with the superbena.

These Royal Chambray Superbena are the best!  They even last a long time in a cut flower arrangement.

Cotton Candy phlox.  Incredibly pretty smell- best of all I have come across.

I look forward to seeing this one each year!

The sun was shining on this geranium just right so I snapped a shot.  It ended up looking almost animated.  This is such a pretty color and of course I loved the name "Flamingo Rose"

This  planter has been unnoticed but blooming away all summer with the same impatiens that are along the border of the garden near the fountain.

I always let my hostas bloom so the hummingbird and bees can feed from them.  I have a few stems to trim that just finished flowering.  I just nip them off down low.

The plain darker green hostas are called Fujibotan and have a heavy duty flower stalk.  They'd make a great border for a sidewalk. The plant is tall and fills out with a good width but they stay contained almost like a shrub.

I'm so tickled with the wagon and how the plants grew this year.  You never know when you put them together just how it will go.  It gets a very late dose of sun and seems to like it.

Back in June when I planted it.

Love these lilies.  They have huge flowers clustered on a single stem.

 Oriental lily, Sunny Azores

Very fragrant- found them at Lowe's a few years ago and I'm pretty sure they get them every year.

Wonderful scented cone flower called Secret Affair

The Black Eyed Susan's have been blooming for a couple of weeks.  

Cone flowers mixed with the Black Eyed Susan's make a nice colorful bouquet!

This is the 2nd year in the ground here for these knockout roses.  Some rose chafers chewed on the leaves a bit but otherwise they are doing great!

This is a cone flower "Cheyenne Spirit" They are described as- A bright mix of cream, yellow, gold, orange, scarlet, orange, red, and purple!  So far mine are mostly yellow heading towards orange.  It will be interesting to watch them evolve.

Recently our son, daughter in-law and grandson were visiting for a week.  It was a joy to see him checking things out!  I was always busy doing something and barely remembered to take pictures!
