PeeGee Hydrangea Tree

Delphinium - Pacific Giant blooming later than the rest

Last Hosta blooms

Holly Berries - I love this bush and have added another to my Spring Wish List.

The blue of Star Juniper goes well with the purple asters.

American Cranberry bush and Satomi dogwood.


Asclepias currassavica planted for the Monarchs.
 Unfortunately they did not make it to NS this year.

Although a Zone 7 plant, it is worth planting as an annual.

Hydrangea - Blue Billows (Deer 'dessert' in spring, so I never got to see it bloom)

Rhododendron - Olga Mezzit

The fall colours of the Euphorbia polychroma are stunning.

Annual Celosia



Primula doing an encore! Bravo!

Hydrangea are deepening in colour.

White phlox is still looking good in second week of October.
