A bit of an update or a follow up to my “Two for Tuesday” blog where I went out today to recapture pics of the sedum and the turtleshead (chelone).


While I was out there, I snapped a couple of other pics. Most of the flowers are almost done for except for the hydrangeas which I have posted a pic earlier, and the annual flowers I had planted this year. It is a bit of a lull until the fall bloomers come into their full glory. But a few are popping out already…



So many hostas have already bloomed, and other than the bees and the hummingbirds loving them, their foliage is their main attraction.
The veronica is on it’s last leg of blooms, but it hasn’t stopped the flutterbyes.

A new annual for me this year, love the color, but I think the plant needed more sunlight or a longer growing season. It got dwarfed in my planters among the other flowers but was supposed to grow taller.

Have a good weekend bloggers. I keep looking at the bulb catalogs but I think that time is getting away from me so I will forgo putting in any fall orders…. Oh well, there is always next year, said every gardener at one time or another!
Vic, what is the last picture of? It looks very cool! Thanks for posting these!
It is Persian Shield, a very pretty annual.
It is really pretty!
Thanks Suzi!
