    I thought I'd lost my Clematis this year, then suddenly there it was!

    I thought these clumps of Daylily were the same, but clearly they are different. Anyone know which they are?

    Just beautiful Netty, so many bright blooms. I have got to get some Daisies in the garden next year, those are gorgeous. I wish my Monarda would finally bloom, I don't know what color it is. I got it at the end of season sale last year and the color wasn't given on the label. :rolleyes:

    The Bee Balm is gorgeous Netty and that black poppy is a winner for sure. :-D
    My clematis haven't done well for some reason this year. I'm also fighting a losing battle with Red lily Beetle. :(

    I love to see your pics, Netty. Your yard is so full of color. I'm liking that crocosmia.... And the lilly behind the sunflower... And the sunflower... And... all of them.

    Great photos and what a wonderful display of flora in your yard. I couldn't pick a favorite. I kept thinking the one I was looking at was the best and then I'd scroll down to the next and feel the same way. Thanks for a lovely walk through your garden.
