Coleup, I love that aster combo! Donner and Gita - those brugs are so beautiful!

1. This bluestem goldenrod was a surprise I found creeping out from beneath a shrub -new to me! Sometimes it pays not to be a good weeder!

2. One of my dahlia seedlings seems to be a miniature with small olive green leaves and short form. Could be influenced from the drought but next year will tell when I give it a more favorable spot.

3. A beautiful abutilon at Laurelwood Garden in Wayne NJ

4. Colchium at Laurelwood.

5. One of several impressive lantanas backed by tropical milkweed - both Silky Yellow and Silky Red planted together. That is the way to do it! Next year! Also at Laurelwood.

I love Laurelwood! They allow dogs so it is a great place to walk around. A little too far North for most of you!
