All day yesterday and through the night a gentle rain fell on the garden. This afternoon the dog and I, and a multitude of mosquitoes, took a tour to see what’s what.
The petite hostas rimmed in lime green have lovely purple blooms.
The first of the phlox is just starting to blossom.
Lovely echinacea with their burnished gold cones.
A few delicate asters have opened. They will bloom into the fall and look lovely against a backdrop of autumn leaves.
The daisies are fresh-faced as always.
Two years ago I planted a hibiscus that was a gift or random giveaway. Last year it graced me with two lovely pink blooms. This year there are no less than 80 blooms on it! I can’t wait for the spectacular show.
