I have a new buttonbush that is one of my new trial plants from Proven Winners. It was only a few inches tall in May, but it has gotten a lot bigger by now, and has pretty, multi colored foliage. I'm curious to see how big it gets, and what the blooms look like. It's a dwarf type. Like you, I'm afraid that I often repeat things here over the years, but I still like to record what goes on in my garden. It's basically a garden journal for me.

The butterflies in our gardens LOVE verbena bonariensis - they spent a couple of hours out there tonight.

My 87 year old father is still doing pretty well, but my mother is in a special care unit for dementia and declining quite rapidly.....<br /><br />Your flower beds are beautiful. I admire your mastery of flowers' names! I'm so confused with all the Rudbeckia, Black-eyed Susans, etc. I despair of ever knowing what is what. I DO know that I love the lavender coneflower and just this week brought a transplant home with me. I so hope it survives! <br /><br />Enjoy your August forays into your lovely Corner Garden.rebeccahttp://sceneinourgarden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-78173329957432580072014-08-02T07:17:49.807-05:002014-08-02T07:17:49.807-05:00It wouldn't seem like reruns if we visited in ...It wouldn't seem like reruns if we visited in person frequently and walked around looking at various plants and discussing your garden. The blog posts feel as if we're visiting and seeing changes and hearing what you are thinking as we look at different plants.<br /><br />I know your garden is a comfort during this time of sorrow.
