Wow, Ron! Those roses and peonies look great!
I've had some really nice irises that have already come and gone.
I think I have a TON of blooming spiderwort...(please, correct me if I'm mislabeling)...
...and just this morning, some buttercups (again, correct me if I'm mistaken, please!)...
I planted some autumn ferns up the left side of the driveway, have honeysuckle exploding all over the new woven-wire fence on the right side of the driveway, and some really pretty blue hostas that finally exploded with some extra water and shade. I also planted some oak-leaf hydrangeas--both ruby slippers and pee wee--in the front and back. I sprinkled in a dianthus, a goldstrum, and an echinacea plant...and voila! Even the vinca has continued to flower a bit with all the rain we've gotten.
I'm patiently awaiting moonflowers and rose of sharon and look forward to adding a kousa dogwood and a shade tree in the front, in late fall. Finally, the place doesn't look like a wreck!
