more late summer blooms

On our walk through the garden yesterday, we found a surprising number of things still blooming, reblooming, and just starting to bloom. Maybe I'm the one who's tired - not the gardens!! Here are more photos.

dianthus (pinks)

Queen Anne's Lace

native rudbeckia or coneflower
These all started from seed brought by the wind or birds or ??
They bloom, like, forever! I love it!

plantegenia hosta
these blooms smell sooooo good!

"Autumn Joy" sedum, just starting to show color

one of the caladiums in the garden

what is this plant???

HELP!!! My French teacher, Nadine, gave me this plant this spring. She didn't know the name of it - only that it likes some sun and spreads. I have two photos of it here - you can see the leaves and the buds. The buds are a dark pink or red - and then open into this cheery yellow flower. My neighbor's daughter has some blooming at her new home also - and we would really appreciate it if anyone knows what they are. One thought I had was evening primrose or sundrops - but no clue if this is the leaf for that plant.

This is my first lily to open - isn't it gorgeous??? A neighbor had these blooming in her garden last year, and I told her if she ever divided them I would love to have a bulb or two. She came down later that afternoon with a half dozen plants!!! What a great gardening friend - thanks Anne-Marie! Now I have them in 4 different garden spots.

A delphinium that I have had forever. I love these when the sun is shining through the leaves like this. Below is more of the flower stalk. What great showy back-of-the-border gems these are.

And this is another clematis on the gazebo - sorry, I don't know the name of it.
