August blooms

Toadflax.

Lavender Poppy with curly grey green leaves.

Godetia.



Portulaca.



Peace Rose.

Peace Rose, the next day.

Agastache, aka Anise Hyssop. Amazing color combination of peach and lilac...and the foliage smells wonderful.

Cerinthe.

The fire heather turns gold in summer, fire red in fall, and does this nice pink thing in between.

Spotted Beans growing well.

Rise and Shine Rose.

Rainbow Knock out Rose.

Zucchini.

These Glads bloomed on our wedding day last year. A little later this year, but just as pretty.

A true blue flower...we've been searching & breeding for centuries, trying to get a blue flower. But here is a nice one in the vegetable garden on a humble lettuce!

Drumstick Allium.

Monarda.

Autumn Joy Sedum.

Cape Blanco Sedum.

The Lacecap Hydrangea, still slow to bloom this year. Maybe next year I will fertilize.

A volunteer Rose! Such a nice thing when an emerging weed turns up to be a Rose! Nice color too...looks like Joseph's Coat.

Drangon's Blood Sedum in flower.

Phlox.

Dark Red Sweet Peas.

Angel's Fishing Rods.
