BEAUTIFUL Marion! I had some of those Turk's cap lilies, but those
red beetles ate em.
I had the goldsturm rudbeckia in my main garden & they were GORGEOUS this year
next to the Rosa Radrazz( "Knock Out" roses) which are still in full bloom!
In addition to the pink echinacea, I bought a pretty yellow variety at a garden
center this year - I think it's called "Mellow Yellow".
Your Monarda/Bee Balm looks fabulous. I never seem to have much luck with that
plant, but have a neighbor who'se had great success with it.
I got a daylily catalogue from Olallie Farms in Vermont and made lists
of the ones I'd like to have for next year ( I'll be lucky if I can budget for one or two,
but you need to dream!).
New in my garden this year - a"Sky Pencil" holly that grows about 8-9 ft tall
and no more than 1-2 ft wide. A great accent shrub! and it's evergreen!
One of the very best container plants I bought this year was a perennial
lobelia that was sky blue and is STILL blooming like mad!
fun stuff! Sigh! I hate putting the garden to bed for the winter.
thank you for sharing your garden photos! We'll have to confer
about our plantings next Spring!
