| All,
I have been enjoying the posts here and learned a lot. Here are a few late summer garden pictures to share. This has been a tough summer with record high tempt and drought But all the plants survived.

| I love seeing such pictures i.e. more of the garden as a whole instead of only close-ups of individual flowers. Thanks Vivian. (Too bad about the hares. With an outdoor cat I have much less issues with those 'wascally wabbits') |

| What are the orange flowers in the black pot? Looks like some thread leaf coreopsis and something else..but I can't quite make it out..looks like you're getting mums early this year. watch it be marigolds! I think/hope my cateracts are ripe enough for surgery in October or November..I find I'm having more difficulty in making out what things are lately. Appt. in Sept. |

| The orange flowers in the black pot are Marigolds. I used them to fill out spaces. Thanks |

| Thanks. The hydrangeas are LimeLight. They are now my favorite summer to fall flowering hydrangeas for sunny spots. Vivian |
|
| So pretty! |
|
| Very nice. Looks like you are very meticulus. |
|
| A very nice collection of colors and leaf forms. I especially like the Russian sage/Rose combo. |
|
| Really nice. Thanks for sharing! I appreciate how tidy and well-planned it is. I'm envious of that. You've done a beautiful job and the gardens work especially well with your home. Bravo! |
