The dance of floral beauties continues. New entrants are appearing regularly. The colors are outstanding and the variety if breathtaking.. They are untroubled by the recent rain. In fact, they seem to relish it.
I will be linking this blog to the Six On Saturday group in the morning. You can find it here https://gardenruminations.co.uk. It is capably hosted by Jim Stephens and is joined by gardeners from around the globe. Come join us and see the beautiful gardens.
The unnamed Daylily on the left has been a consistent performer over the years.
The Stokes Aster loves its location and has been spreading regularly. What started as just a few plants is now several dozen. They are very jolly.
The close up on the left is identified by iNaturalist as an Asian Lady Beetle. I am not sure of that but nonetheless, it is on the Shasta Daisies which are just beginning to raise up their lovely blooms.
The reddish blooms of Sedum on the right is ‘Autumn Joy’. It is another reliable visitor.
The fountain on the left has been repurposed with hardy succulents. It is nicely framed by the Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’ in the background.
The problem of the day is a broken sprinkler head. This had been run over by a wayward motor vehicle several months ago. The car had also ruined two Encore azaleas and damaged our beautiful Katy Road antique roses. I only noticed this damage today. Repair will be done soon.
May your days be made more pleasant by the joy of gardening.
