Here's a photo from my den, but it REALLY does not do justice to my garden. This year it's a real garden.
See why I like July?
I tried again. Maybe a better shot:
Still to come into flower are more daylilies, blackberry lilies (if anyone wants seeds I'll mail them to you; these are very neat plants), liatris (a.k.a. gayfeather), sedum, ground geranium, perennial chrysanthemums, more veronica (tall variety), and phlox. I think that's it. There are a few plants gone by: centaurea (cornflower), euphorbia, Siberian iris, both purple and white, white bleeding heart, some more candy tuft (white and pink), a new plant I can't remember the name of but it's pink, creeping phlox. Now you have an idea why I obsess over this place; it's worth it!
Coming soon, MY GARDEN--The Movie.

You say you don't know the name of those plants... and I say that you must not really be Starla! The Starla I know has knowledge of every. single. plant. in. the. world.
The End.
