Lots blooming in the Adventure Garden right now. The perovskia (russian sage) has reached its full height (bigger every year); blue salvia, cosmos and roses are still blooming; and the lilies, aconitum (monkshood), snapdragons and borage are providing lots more colour.
Fall bloomers such as echinacea and liatris have lots of buds on them. There are a few empty-looking spots in the middle picture where I've planted some new ornamental grasses - they take a little while before they take off but I'm hoping next year they will add some much-needed colour and texture.
Stay tuned!
Here's what this garden looks like at other times of the year:
- early August 2010
- late July 2010
- mid July 2010 (my favourite time of year for this garden!)

Thanks Laura. I am definitely enjoying the garden this time of year. A little more heat would be nice, but then Id have to water more, so I guess I wont complain!
