Did you grow that banana from seed?! If so, I'm going to put that on my list of things to do. Either way, it's impressive.

Your butterfly garden looks wonderful! Wish my butterfly bush was blooming that good. I have way too many spent blooms on mine right now and need to deadhead it. What is the plant with bright pink flowers on the bottom right of that photo?

Hi Christie,

No, the banana tree we bought at a local nursery. We do get a few compliments on it lol.

The bright pink flowers you see at the bottom right of the Butterfly Bush are phlox and the white flowers next to them are phlox too. Those were Winter Sown and I have not deadheaded them at all, just kept them watered :).

Nice pictures Brad, the BB is blooming it's head off!
Really nice.

Beautiful. This was your first year WS?

Ladyrose, that BB is just blooming up a storm. I have to go deadhead it some more actually. It's become one of my favorite perennials.

Caryltoo, nope, this was my second year of WS. Some perennials like the Purple Ironweed are in their second year. I can't believe it bloomed the first year from WS.
