Here's the new babies I bought this past week.

I mostly bought wandflower, Golden Fleece (dyssodia tenuiloba), blue mountain (nierembergia hippomanica), snowland (leucanthemum paludosum... which perhaps I may be dermatalogically allergic to. OOPS.), penstemon, salvia, heatwave glitter sage (salvia greggii), Grosso Lavender, English Lavender and Thumbelina Leigh (dwarf) English Lavender. I liked the lavender that our initial installation gardeners put in,... but it was all French and Spanish, and to me, it's the Grosso and English that smells the most traditionally lavender.

Here's what the yard looks like now with most of the new plants put in.

This is my rose ghetto. A lot of them are bands, that due to us getting late in the season... I think they'll feel safer potted up in 3 galls to grow a bit before I put them in the ground in fall. I'm planning to put more irises in here, too.

You can see the new La France climbing rose on the back wall. This was a gallon plant... but look how big it is! I bet it's going to be a vigorous rose. Next to it you can see one of the irises from my mom, about to bloom!

That's rosemary in front of it. Tempted to move the rosemary forward a bit... I think La France has enough room, though. Hmm.

My best idea in the past week, I think, is putting some short daisies and english lavender along the "path". They smell so good and define the path, more! Eventually, there will be a rose covered arbor there to GO TO, but for now, it is the path to NOTHING! :D You can see some penstemon, guara and nierembergia hippomanica in there, too.

BABY SEEDS! I'm going to have to separate them soon. This pot is like way more happy than all of the rest of them, it's so funny!
