Winchester Cathedral.
April in Paris with Red Burgundy gaillarda.
I likr Milk Shake.Adding it to my wish list.
What a fabulous collection!
Ge - you won't be dissapointed with Milkshake. I've been deadheading most of my echinaceas as they get brown/black or faded away with the summer's heat. Just unsightly to look at. But Milkshake, most of those blooms were still from June, They last forever.
oooooooo, soooooo pretty!!!!!
Celeste, We have some fields that look like that around here I was wondering what it was.
What do you do for JB's, Tex??
Took awhile to catch up on this thread, but Oh Boy was it worth it! Tex - what a fabulous display you have there! Love Lifelines in particular, but also HH Sultry Kiss, Turn of the Century and Pink Elephant! Fabulous photos!
Robindog - love your Magic Moment dahlia!
Meredith - very pretty Monarch shot!
Cathy 166 - your Fourth of July roses are awesome!
Pixie - very pretty shots! I love Raspberry Masquerade and especially that Stolen Treasures!! Wow!
Hydrangea near the old plow is full of blooms despite the dry conditions. I think the flower heads are smaller this year though.

heliopsis beginning their show after the rain.......
Rose of Sharon
Hank's been at it again...picking me a bouquet on his morning walkabout with the puppies
Victor - what's JB? Just kidding!!!!
I guess I'm just lucky we don't have any major insect infestation. No JBs, none also of the dreaded red lily Bs.
The only thing we have are earwigs. More of an annoyance than a problem. I trap them making a home-made trap of a solid plastic(not see through) food containers with a lid, holes in the side and some cooking oil inside.
Here's a new bloom on Bodacious dahlia. Still njo sign of the red coloring. This one is yellow-orangey blend. First one was pink-orangey.
all kinds of blooms around my potting shed!
Donnie - My heliopsis been flowering since last month, but I chopped the heck out of it. The foliage were getting rusted and got mildew. Don't want it to spread.
Nice shots, Louise!
No beetles at all, Tex?!!
CARYOPTERIS, doing fine, even though got it in the ground late this summer, received from Rose R Red at MA swap(THANKS!!!)
Noid phlox
been away for a few days there were some nice blooms!
celeste glad you found green eyes:) there is not a bes near them, you had me worried.
Mini roses
Can't wait for this hibiscus to open!!!
Nope Victor! Nada! Wait, I lied. I got ladybugs though. I'd rather have a colony of those than any other beetles.
Wow - very lucky.
Nice shots, Jen!

Nice. That cage must be getting tight!
you have no idea... they love to come out and run run run... every few days we let one of them run loose with Lily... seems to be great bonding time... rather than all 7 of them attacking her at once... the lady who works at the vets office... she is the groomer.. is coming to look at "a couple of them" this week
Agastache Apricot Sprite with coleus Elfers,
