The last two posts were all from the Frelinghuysen Arboretum. The rest here will still be from there except the first one.
1. Helenium - cute miniature potted one found in container in Chicago. Look at the sweet potato vine leaf for scale. Which reminds me of Wee\'s earlier comment about getting to visit gardens when traveling with others and no, I didn\'t get to see the Chicago Botanical Garden.
2. Back to Frelinghuysen - Nicotiana sylvestris
3. Check out Redbud - Ruby Falls newly planted. Very nice, I think. Better than Forest Pansy? I\'ll have to remember to check on it late August and see what color the leaves are. I read Forest Pansy doesn\'t hold the dark color but I couldn\'t say myself.
4. Astrantia
5. Annabel with Joe Pye weed ready to bloom from behind.
