| My Robinia 'tristy baby' has made a baby! And since I had an extra Goodwill pot to fill…another 'Keshiki Bonsai' |
 |
| I found this little Albizza ...I think anyway. I t was ether you go in the compost bin or in a little pot. |
 |
| The China rose I grew from seed last year is making a few blooms . With the weather being milder this year and watering twice a day I've managed to keep the moss green . |
 |
| It's the Bronze Fennel and the Guara that reigns supreme in the Garden this time of year. With a little help from Nicotiana sylvestris , which has just now coming into bloom. |
 |
| After just reading 'A Flower a day' by Margery Fish , I see what she means about the" rampant Golden rod ". But then again they are easy to pull out. I haven't pulled many, as you can see. |
 |
| The heleniums have become a stalwart in my dry garden, along with the Pentstemons |
 |
| Every year this Fuchsia 'whiteknights amethyst' collapses all over the gravel path...but not this year . I made a little rebar support …nice clear path , with the Fuchsia standing proud. |
 |
| More Guara , with Agastache this time. |
 |
| Panicum 'cheynne sky' , Sedum' autumn sky' , Queen annes lace , Teucrium hircanicum 'paradise delight' , Verbena bonariensis and Echinacea pallid in the very dry and wind swept front garden. |
 |
| One of annuals or tender perennial I grew from seed. Blooming at not four 'o'clock , but more like six here in the PNW.
This is Mirabilis longiflora 'fairy trumpets' . I'm thinking, I might have to dig this up and over winter it indoors.!
And for many more August blooms visit: Carol May Dreams Gardens |
 |
| I thought I'd better get out the camera , it looks like grey skies for a few days…and " slight chance showers". I've hardly watered this area at all, just some of the new planting . It's held up really well, the planting is getting nice and thick now. Which makes less watering and less weeding! One weed got away...the tall one on the top right ! |
 |
| There always seems to be a stick holding up some badly behaved branch , the Decaisnea Fargesii in this case. |
 |
| Last August I did a post on a small area I had replanted. Looking at it this morning , I'm very pleased ! |
 |
| This is from last year , I had just bought this Rhododendron 'evered' and the Yucca 'blue boy'. I had to pull out and pick though all the variegated sedum, that was no longer variegated and replant ….just the few variegated bits. |
 |
| This with the Weigela , Eucomis 'sparkling burgundy' and Panicum 'cheyene sky' makes a nice group . |
