Great pics, everyone, as usual!

Miles, I hope your peach-leaved campanula does well for you. This is the first time I've had success with one. I've tried them several times before and they always died on me. Hey, if you have time on Sunday and what to stop by to check out my gardens, let me know. I'll probably be around.

Pat, that butterfly weed looks very nice with the catmint. That Christopher Marlow rose is a beauty. I love that unknown purple iris. Really nice!

Victor, I could never get tired of that gorgeous JI. Oh, you have Invincebelle! I've been wanting that one. I love Lady Scarlet DL. Beautiful! Blue Billow is amazing, too. Such a nice shade of blue.

Marilyn, I like the color on that spuria iris and the delph. Another nice blue on that one.

Rama, the hollyhocks are great! That pic of the sunflower bud is very nice. Would be a good one for the photo contest.

Pensecola, nice cana. I have never grown them. My next door neighbor has them in a big galvanized steel tub. I'm assuming they're in water or very wet, unless they have drainage holes in that thing.

Bill, I love the Tiger's Eye sumac. I'm not sure, but maybe those yellow flowers are called sundrops or sundews. Possibly something from this family: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/search.php?q=oenothera&Sear... . Your carpet of creeping Jenny is very nice, and I love your long shot. Nice geranium, too.

Here are some shots from the other day. Crested iris (in front), pulmonaria 'Trevi Fountain' (behind CI), and behind that is Japanese painted fern on the left and a tiarella on the right.
