Nice mix of colors Brenda!
Does your Chardonnay Pearls keep it\'s chartreuse foliage all summer Donna?
I suspect it would be greener in more shade? My yard is so shaded ...
Here are a few from yesterday.
I know what you mean about \'sun drenched\' pictures.
It\'s so odd that they look great to the native eye in full sun,
but the pictures wash completely out.
The first picture is a sun-drenched bletilla striata - prettier than it looks.
Next is campanula Blue Waterfall.
Everyone says campanula is invasive, but I haven\'t been able to keep one alive.
So I\'m pleased this one has survived a season.
Ditto for armeria maritima - but this time I planted in one of my grit pots.
It actually looks happy.
Finally one of my wife\'s chives in bloom. Quite pretty.
