Caught my eye

The big and bold always sucks me in! Planted with Carey's orange poppies - I've got a Daley Progress section in the garden now ;)

Best of August 2011

I didn't do nearly as much picture taking this gardening season as in previous years.  Because I didn't buy many new plants this year, I was thinking that my photos would mostly be repeats from previous years.  However, I did have several things bloom for the first time this year: including new daylilies planted last year and two hydrangeas that I've been too lazy to protect over the winter.  The winner for new perennials this year has to be the new pink coneflowers planted in Kelly's garden.

Echinacea purpurea

It's now late October and these flowers are still going strong!  Here's some more pictures from August.
