Quoting:Very Nice.

Your garden looks immaculate.

Beth, thanks so much. It is weedy but you can\'t tell this in this picture ;)

Quoting:Looks like some sort of pink rose in the foreground?

It is what I consider to be a great rose for gardeners that don\'t know roses ;) ie not an \"English\" rose or such but rather an incredibly hardy, healthy Canadian bred rose called \"Campfire\". It blooms from spring till past the first frost. (I have posted a picture below taken in mid June 2016).

Quoting:What\'s the white hydrangea on the viewer\'s right?

\"Bobo\" hydrangea. A compact bloom machine. It will be in full flower in a week or so. I liked it so much that I planted 10!

Quoting:I think the Tuff Stuff is in front of the clematis in the center.

You are correct!

Quoting:Does the Tuff Stuff really bloom most of the season?

This one gets too much sun. Our ps one does much better.

Quoting:Blue Paradise for me turns too purple.

I understand. I find that it has different shades of purple/blue depending on the time of day! For us it is really good in terms of powdery mildew.

Quoting:Does the Becky Shasta Daisy hold up and not flop?

These do stand tall for the season. I had two other stands of Becky but they have gone to flower heaven while this one has done well.

Quoting:And last, I noticed the red in the background on the viewer\'s left. Is this Salva splendens (annual)?

Yup, you have an eagle eye ;).

I have enjoyed \'talking\' with you. I am so impressed my fellow gardeners in this thread. I learn lots.
