Thanks Sharon. That's a beautiful combination. The variety growing around here isn't near that tall - 2' at the very most. It must not be Cloth of Gold. In any case, I'll gather seeds in the fall as well as ask for divisions in the spring.

No i can't believe it's August! Great pics, as usual, Sharon! :)

Here are some of mine.

A morning glory has wound its way up the lattice and into a geranium on the steps. Kind of weird looking!

Here are the cosmos and morning glories - not to mention the usual stray dill plant.

Clematis tangutica 'Radar Love' (i think) - winter sown last year.

A few lilies, and echinacea Sunrise. I finally weeded this bed today - nasty!

Hmmmmmm, look who visited my garden early this morning. Sorry Sharon, I won't mention his name, :O , but I will say I cursed a little at this visitor....errrrr maybe a lot. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

And here are this mornings pics, taken as he was leaving....

Marcia, your MG looks really nice with the geranium!

Nasty Mr. F for showing up so early. Lets send him packing until December!

Everyone's flowers are so pretty and great combos in all the containers!

My company just left this morning so once my camera finishes recharging I'll scoot out there and see what's new.

Ang

Savona, I'm always blown over how beauteous your planters are! Way to grow!

Sharon

Yes, beautiful flowers everyone!

We had another frost this morning, not quite as heavy as yesterday morning. I agree with Ang, lets send Mr. F packing until at least Nov or Dec...even late Oct. I don't know if I will see many dahlia flowers this year...most are just starting to bloom.
Oh well, there is always next years garden to think about.

Sierra

Not flowers per say but this is what I made Tuesday.

You sure did a nice job of the pond.
