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. |
