I am out of town this week but I took the liberty of taking some photos last week. It has cooled down a little. It is feeling more like fall. It seems that summer has hurried by but that may only been another illusion of mine.
We have had an irrigation problem at the Corner Garden. I will show you a photo that I took illustrating the source.
Come take a stroll with me through the garden. We can sit in the shade whenever you like. I might even be able to provide you with a glass of “sweet tea”. It will be refreshing. If you are able, come join us Saturday morning when Jim Stephens hosts us at this website https://gardenruminations.co.uk/. This will allow you to join the Six on Saturday crowd as we tour gardens throughout the world.
The Stokesia is blooming again. It is feeling the cooler temps that are approaching.
The Blackberry lily continues to produce some beautiful blooms.
The crepe myrtle (Lagerstroemia sp) is blooming madly. Less prolific this year but still awe inspiring.
The Gomphrena “strawberry fields” has been outstanding this year.
The Encore Azalea (this one may be “Autumn Royalty” is nicely blooming. This variety has 3 blooming periods a year although this has been this year’s first blooming.
The Limelight hydrangea is in its first year and has been blooming for 3 months now. This cultivar is “Bobo”
I mentioned an irrigation issue and here it is. This is at the Corner Garden and we will need some professional help here. Keep you posted.
Happy Gardening everyone!!

The crepe myrtle header picture is stunning in close up. I also love the Gomphrena, I don’t think I’ve seen it before (outside of your posts). Good luck with the irrigation issue, it looks like it will be messy.
Oh, the hours I have spent bent double over muddy holes just like that one. Some things you miss a lot less than others when you retire.
