Here's my Duchess looking more like the Before of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady than any Duchess!

They're the dead looking flowers hanging from the Crape Myrtle on the right about half way down the photo: the ones that make you say YUK when you see them.

Kim sent me the secret perennial trade package of a lifetime. I was planting them today. Cherry Bells was identified by Kim but then there's the adorable mini hosta and the other one. Venusta is one of them: which one? Do you have a name for the one that isn't Venusta?

Please let me know if we have similar looking Duchesses. I'm cutting the flowers off - we'll be on the Garden Tour 7/9 and I don't want people thinking I'm trying to kill it!
