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!

dahlia

turtlehead

little blue stem grass

just starting to turn burgundy and develop seed heads

the phlox are winding down, but still some color

"David"

"Hawkeye Belle"

(this rose is just covered in blooms again)

one of the dahlias

hibiscus are still going strong

mallow reblooming

shasta daisy

"Autumn Joy" sedum, just starting to show color

hibiscus bud starting to open

delphinium reblooming

(surprising because I neglected to deadhead the first blooms)

one of the caladiums in the garden

more June blooms

I just want to say right up front:

I don't have all of these blooming right next to each other.

The lilies my neighbor shared with me - great color!

Sweet, bright dianthus.

Beard tongue - I had never seen this plant bloom before this year, even though I've had it for several years. If you click on the photo, you can see the little bell-shaped flowers that opened.

Mallow - I love these.

Astilbe - I thought they were open when I posted a few days ago! I always forget how gorgeous these plumes are.

The astilbe are in my west porch or rose garden. I'm pretty amazed that all the pinks actually work together - but they are very pretty.
