It was a bit dry in July but with a few nice showers everything looks better. The last few days have been stifling hot and humid. Only a week or two and the weather will break...I hope. The Angel Trumpet is always a show stopper. Heavy blooms now.
The tuberose clumps are good size but only a few spikes. Some years there are none. I don't understand what makes it bloom but it's an interesting plant that's worth keeping.
This is the time of the year when the purple cone flower is at its best.
And after a rain the naked ladies show off.
Next are three Rudbeckia that I start from seed...occasionally they will winter over. The first is Cherry Brandy. It is the shortest and looks better in the picture than in the garden.
The next is Prairie Sun. It is about 10-12 inches in height.
Indian Summer is the best of the three, large flowers on strong stems.
Russian Sage in full sun it will get 3-4 feet tall. It's a good cut flower.
Black and Blue Saliva is not a good cut flower but it is a nice back of the border plant.
Roses are breaking out of there summer slump. Here's a few blooming now. This is Barbara Louise
Double Delight
Europena
Glamis Castle
St. Ceclia
The Dark Lady
The Prince
Wenlock
And several arrangements from the garden for this weekends liturgies.
