    Your new garden is really looking lovely already Netty - well done!!

    I can see the little gold stars - isn't nature wonderful?

    Your garden is so full of colour at the moment that it's a real pleasure to look at you photographs. :-D

    Oh, GASP what gorgeous and colorful blooms you have now. That new bed is beautiful, what's the white plant to the far right?

    You have a much longer blooming season than I do down here, the heat and dryness turns the garden to embers this time of the year. :'(

    That purple yellow combination is great. That is one I am going to try and copy (imitation is flattery :)) Your flowers and bed are lovely.

    Thank you for your compliments. I am pleased with how this garden has turned out this year and I'm already trying to come up with ways to make it look even better next year!
    Toni, the white blooms on the right are Feverfew. The plant has gone absolutely crazy since I planted it last fall! Things aren't usually this happy in the heat of August, but we have had a very cool and wet summer.

    Feverfew, I wondered if it might be. I plan on having that in my front garden next year.

    What a lovely parade of colourful flowers, Netty. That new plot looks supurb. Gosh, who wouldn't find that pretty.

    I don't know that butterfly weed, but it sure does look nice. Does it really get lots of butterflies?

    I enjoyed these fotos very much.

    I'm waiting for cooler weather so I can plant some more flowers and things. The hot weather has just about done in everything. Your garden and flowers are beautiful. You can come and do mine for me if you would like. dooley
