what's blooming in the front Welcome Garden, August 31 2010

This is year 2 for this garden area and it's filling in nicely.  Remember to click on the photos to get a better view!

The above photos are from the "new side".  In the close-ups (clockwise from top left) you will see shasta daisies which are reblooming after I cut them back in early July; nepeta 'Walker's Low' still blooming with deschampsia despitosa (tufted hair grass) in the background; gaillardia; teasel (a bee magnet!); echinacea purpurea.

And in these photos, above, you can see the more established side a little closer up.  There are orange daylilies, sedum 'Purple Emperor', rose campion, achillea (yarrow) 'Moonshine', veronica spicata 'Sunny Border Blue', and of course, ornamental grasses in bloom right now.
