For some reason this is the first year I still have columbines with foliage in August. There's some in this pic somewhere.

Last year I only had one "NCD", but that thing was 4 feet tall and bloomed all summer, it was really something. I collected seeds and had lots of plants this year and knew they'd need a lot room, and they're worthy of a lot of space so I gave it to them. Almost no lawn left out back!

Not much blooming here, but the Hosta plantaginea are budding up nicely.
