    The lespedeza bloomed for the second time. This is a big 5 ft. plant with cascading sweetpea like flowers.

    Plectranthus is a good late bloomer.

    Don't know the name of this grass. I bought it because it was pink and very dainty.

    This is the beautiful underwing of the gulf fritillary.

    You are so right, especially since I have eight of these. This is Muhlenbergia capillaris, " Muhley Grass". She's great for drought also. 8) Cajunbelle you are a smartie.

    Not really a smartie, just way too many hours pouring over plant catalogs and books. LOL

    Beautiful pictures Bethie. I too really like the pink grass. I wonder how it would do in Michigan.
