We had a week of perfect summer weather last week.
The border was at its peak.
I had to take a photo tour to record the color.
The daylilies dotted the border with bright petals.
The cleome survived the rabbits.
Well, I did cage it for weeks until it grew.
tall enough to survive.
The lavender is ready to harvest.
It looks wonderful against the apricot roses.
I'm not sure about the color of this phlox.
It's a bit neon magenta for my garden.
Especially in contrast to the cardinal flower
and the butterfly bush.
The black-eyed Susan, the perennial sunflower
and the sneezeweed are my palette preferences.
Although this part of the border is
a monotone. It could use a bright color.
The plants and their blooms are
doing their job to cover up the
eyesores of the air conditioners,
ours and our neighbors.
And provide some privacy from
neighbor's windows when we sit
on the patio to enjoy our garden!
Even the birds enjoy some privacy
for their baths with Yoga Frog.
