Photo of Studs for the late summer garden

It's disgustingly hot/humid this holiday weekend.
Sort of saps the gardening juices.
But it's refreshing to see a couple stud performers doing their thing despite the weather.
These pictures are all from this weekend.
Anyone else have any star performers for a late summer show?

#1 is beautyberry (this one is Callicarpa dichotoma Issai).
#2 is the white-berried version (not sure which species this is, maybe c. americana?).
#3 is Caryopteris divaricata Snow Fairy. A dainty-foliaged cultivar which holds up remarkably well despite the intense amount of white variegation.
#4 is Caryopteris divaricata Snow Fairy again, showing the dainty blue flowers atop each stem.
#5 is another caryopteris, this time C. incana Sunshine Blue. The golden foliage is a nice foil for the blue flowers.
