From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Lily Monte Negro ordered from Spring Hill Nursery 3 years ago. The lily foliage is atrocious, but the Rose Campion hides the leaves a bit. For some reason in the picture the pinks are not as harmonious as they are in real life. From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Guara and Purple-leaf Sandcherry From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Mugo Pine and Ribbon Grass From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Black-eyed Susan and Butterfly Weed From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Butterfly Weed Close-up. This is the brightest it's ever been. The orange is the highlight of the garden today. From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Clustered Bellflower From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Darwin's Blue Veronica from Bluestone Nurseries. Love this blue in the garden. The picture doesn't show it well, but it is placed within a bed of Shasta Daisies, which really makes the blue pop. From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Cryptomeria Black Dragon, Variegated Wigelia, and Shasta Daisies From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Love how everyone is leaning to the sun. I think these are Heliopsis, but I am not sure. The grass is Feather Reed Grass, "Overdam". From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) The mailbox path. You can see the Butterfly Weed in the middle. Hope the monarchs find it! From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Claire's Phlox and Spirea in the background From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Nothing says summer like Black-eyed Susans From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Tsuga canadensis 'Moon Frost' and Heuchera "Coral Bells" From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Lavender and Juniper "Mother Lode" From 2011-07-02 (by Eye-Fi) Oakleaf Hydrangea and Astilbe coming into bloom in my dark corner.
