these are just starting to get going good in the heat but will bloom prolically from now until mid-October

Scutellaria alpina ssp supina (the yellow one), this one is sometimes sold under the variation name Scutellaria alpina 'Moonbeam'. Most people think that if a plant has a name its a hybrid and this often is not the case--its just a particular strain or clone of a species that is rather nice. Scutellaria's I grow a lot of different species of and know a great deal about them; particularly the smaller, arid species. S alpina can always be easily recognized by the deeply crenate (scalloped or toothed) leaves and the flowers appear in dense quadrangular clusters about 2 cm long. S alpina can be pink, yellow, lavender, or dark purple--I have some others but I'll save those for another day.

The purple one is a sterile hybrid 'Violet Cloud'
