1. Betony was being visited by several Wool Carder Bees - I had to look that up because I don\'t remember having them before.
2. Heliopsis - once upon a time I had Sunshine Lorraine but that reseeded to be a patch of solid green. I did get one or two variegated seedlings. Usually inhabited by false milkweed beetles but not so many yet this year.
3. I have a few astilbes but my yard is generally too dry for them. This one is Ostrich Plume but the flowers aren\'t as generous as online photos I see.
4. Rosa glauca doesn\'t bloom long but the hips are nice.
5. Oakleaf Hydrangea are blooming. This one is Snow Queen. The flowers seem smaller this year.
