Duchess of Albany is starting her show, I also have a butterfly bush still going strong.
What's Blooming in Your Garden VI
The Duchess is beautiful Marie.
Thanks, I am very impressed with her growth and performance after planting her this summer. I have others I bought and planted the same time, but they not doing as well as this one.
Spiderwort! Still going.
Love everyone's pictures -
JoAnn - I am hoping and praying the winter is easier than last year. Last year hung on forever and started earlier. It is cold now though, but should be easier to finish up in the garden.
Guara looks gorgeous today after soaking up all the rain. I love this plant, beautiful and graceful.

I love guara. Mine died and I need new ones.
Still have many things blooming.

Celia
are the coreopsis hardy in your zone or do you treat them like annuals? I have tried some of them, but couldn't get them to go through the winter. I am wondering if I was not trying the right varieties?
Petunia, Mums, Lobelia
I found a Latana blooming in my front flower bed. I had those in there either last year or the year before. What a good surprise, they are not suppose to be hardy here.
This is my first year for both of those. I'm collecting seed from them so I'll have a back-up if they don't come back. I have 'Moonbeam' as well and it's come back for me for 7 years now.
Nice spot dreamjourney.
Not much blooming now, but there are a few things . . .
Here's Lobelia cardinalis and some May Night Salvia
Knockout Rose (red doubles)
Clematis
Delphinium "Centurion Bicolor" Grown from seed. This is only its second year, and this is its 3rd flush of flowers.
Hostas
Phlox paniculata "Shortwood"
Phlox paniculata "David"
Penstemon
And finally some more lobelia. This picture is from this weekend up at our pocono house in zone 5ish. If you look closely you can see a hummingbird feeding from the white lobelia.
Beautiful, PGT. Just as lovely as can be. Cute hummer! LOL
What a great shot of the lobelia with the humming bird. :)
Here are some wild asters with goldenrod.
Still have some Gloriosas blooming.
Maximilian Sunflower
Got tons of these blooming now all over the feild (wild) they are Ratibida columnifera. My feild flowers are blooming better than my garden this year (boo hoo, sniff sniff) I know next year has got to be better (two years of being hailed on has diminished my lavish gardens to only a few blooms, gosh the yarrow is doing great and so are the weeds.lol. Only joking about the weeds, I spent 2 days pulling by hand for a new iris bed, will begin planting in a few days. Is burry outside (52 and breezy) so I came back in to veg in front of the 'puter,lol. I'm curious, does anyone else deadhead to continue the bloom cycle til frost? Normally I have tons of bloom up to frost, the hail did mess that up a bit this year tho. Later all, happy planting or enjoying late summer flowers, Kathy.
Nice weeds! Lol
i love Mexican hats. I'd love to plant some in my ditch. With the goldenrod, and rudbeckia. So pretty
I love Mexican hats too. I grew them 1 year until I realizes they arent hardy here.
Aww well if they don't bloom the first year then i guess i won't bother with them. :(
I ordered plants from Bluestone. I noticed the zone requirements after they wee planted and I was worried about too many self sow plants the next year. I checked BS and they arent hardy in z6a
