I did take a few fast picks in my yard today.
1. This is ratibida pinnata blooming for the first time. That I picked up at a Master Gardener sale last year. I was in the prairie mood.
2. Liatris spicata -
3. Lychnis - I guess Maltese Cross. Doesn't look like the pictures. I haven't gotten one spherical cluster and it sprawls all over the ground.
4. One of the calendula varieties - I have never had a fancy calendula live up to the catalog yet. Sticking with the straight forward one from now on.
5. Asclepias incarnata - this one seems to be the nicer of the pinkish milkweeds that I'm trying so far. The leaves are more graceful and it gives fall color.
