Datura, Double Purple
Late Summer - What do you have blooming?
Bea - I love your blue and purples. Do you know what the name of that anemone is?
Shirley,
Does that morning glory take over or is it well behaved? It's beautiful. I have this stuff ??? that vines around everything and gets these tiny pinkish flowers and fight it constantly. My husband said it was morning glory. But it is not.
Sherry
Thanks, Sherrygirl. Morning Glory will take over everything....if you let it. Therefore, I grow mine in a container and let it twine itself on my deck railing.
My Rubrum Lilies are starting : )
Here's Sunset Hyssop, which is becoming one of my favorites. I found it hard to get a good picture of these, but here is my best shot at it : )
This is Delphinium exaltatum again but these are still blooming and I was surprised to see a different variation in color. Beahive I plan on saving seeds from these if you would like some LMK : )
The other pic was slightly blury so here's another.
That last pic is so pretty. I like the mood of the lighting. Very pretty garden.
Dephinium "Pegan Purple"..it's a beauty!
Been waiting and waiting for these sweetpeas to bloom. Today is the day! Beautiful fushia color!
Thank you staceysmom : )
Bea very nice! I love that color sweet pea!
Orange glad
sunflower
coneflower
wow, your photos are really great...what kind of camera are you using? I think you should enter that sunflower one in the DG photo contest this year...It would surely get my vote, that is so amazing!
we have one little 4" pot of violas still blooming
wind..thanks for the vote of confidence! I have a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2 . Love the camera..just wish it was a pocket size.
Rudbeckia
I wait all year for the Rudbeckia. Is that Indian Summer?
Hi Katie..I have no idea, but the blossoms are about 5-6 inches across. HUGE!
So wonderful. I have to keep the dogs from eating mine all spring and early summer when they start to emerge (that and echinacea). It's crazy.
But once they're big, the dogs seem to let them go. I love that the blossoms are so huge. I didn't realize that they got so big.
Hope your summer is going well and that you're tolerating the heat. I'll be driving by down to Corvallis on Saturday morning and will send some "hello" thoughts your way.
I call this "Summer Songfest", because it looks like the Ditch Daylily with its back to us is a microphone that the other flowers are singing into!
They are magenta Phlox, blue Balloon Flower, and Tiger Lilies.
And, of course, what's a butterfly bush without a butterfly? Swallowtail on lower mid-bush.
Rudbeckia 'Irish Eyes'.
Japanese Lily just opened a few days ago. 'Uchida'. In the background are Nicotiana and 'Becky' Shasta Daisies.
Last pic is the Hydrangea tree.
Other blooms right now are Asclepias, Zinnia, Morning Glory, Thunbergia, Marigold, Gaillardia, Physostegia, Coreopsis, Bell Flower, Violas, Annual Phlox 'drummondii', Cosmos, Portulaca, Kiss-Me-Over-The-Garden-Gate (pink, and white), roses, Penstemon (from seed), Crown Vetch, and others, I'm sure!
PSue that last one looks so lovely, like a fairytale illustration! ; )

Japanese M.G., "Velvet Plum"
Yellow rose bud
Lots of great pics of lots of beautiful blooms!
Lilly 'Sorbonne'
This Helianthus is in its second year. I am hoping it is not going to croak after it finishes its flowering cycle. It has been blooming since April and doesn't appear to be slowing down.
Zinnia don't do well here, it is too warm and wet in the summer months. They get leggy, are prone to disease and the snail love them as salad food. This is the first time I have seen a nice planting of them.
This is a 'commercial' planting of Profusion Zinnia I saw in front of the Time/Life call center.
I like coleus, they are easy>
Love the color flow of the zinnias, but those coleus look fantastic! Wow!
Yep, Coleus can be very showy>
That pink lily is so pretty, I need to get one that color all mine are yellow or orange. I love zinnias and they do wonderfully here, if I keep them deadheaded I have several months of blooms.
Here is one of my first hibiscus blooms : ) I am always way behind everyone else with hibiscus even people only a couple minute drive away. I don't know why!
Green glads
Tons of black eyed susans
David's Lavender Phlox. I am actually a little disappointed in these, all the leaves on the bottom dried up and no other phlox in my yard are like that. I think I might move them in fall to give them a chance in a different spot.
