Summer is here, feels like August. Went to the beach this morning with the dog. The breeze felt great, but the sun was too hot, should have worn a hat, though I’m not a hat guy.
Nelly Moser Clematis – received from a friend, didn’t bloom last year. This is the second bloom this year. I guess it earned its keep.
Day lily – Tang Sunburst* (In Memory of Gramps) We have 2 big patches of these.
Coreopsis – It wants to take over, but it is easy to pull up the portions you don’t want. We had a pink variety, but it didn’t come back one year. There is a strong variety in white, but I’ve been told it is very boring.
Lavender – We also have a pink version, but it looks washed out and not very special.
Pink Lavender – I may move it somewhere it might show up better or put it in a planter.
Roses – Something Cool Pink*, from the same friend as the Clematis.
Sedum – not my favorite family of plants, but serve their purpose of allowing me to skip watering the front garden.
Campanula – in a trough
Hydrangea
Something from the Mum family, thought it was Chrysanthemum parthenium, but this doesn’t have a yellow center. I think we did at one time have Chrysanthemum parthenium, but no longer. This here I think is a weed, but it grows in a neglected spot and adds some color.
Leontopodium alpinum – Edelweiss, it is well established and keeps coming back each year. Maybe I’ll try to divide it this year.
* – more made up plant names
