Surprises in the Garden

A couple of unexpected additions to the garden have flowered in the past week. A beautiful lily from Terry came along with a clump of the triple daylilies she gave me. I also have a black-eyed susan in the island bed that either reawakened when the juniper was ripped out, or seeded itself there. It's a different variety than the ones I have in the back.





The pool bed is filled with monarda and echinacea and the black-eyed susans will flower any day now. There is also coreopsis and a cosmos in there. The monarda and echnicea will be divided in the fall to make room for a better variety of perennials.



Casa Blanca lilies exploded in the front bed this weekend:


Phlox Laura:


Gladiolus - the tender variety that have to be dug out each fall:


I can't get a great overview of everything blooming in the front bed, so this is the best I can do. The lilies will be moved in the fall since I didn't count on the Agastache being so tall. I like it in that location though, so I'm keeping it. This picture shows pansies, pink and white gladiolus, the Casa Blanca lilies, Agastache Blue Fortune, Phlox Laura, a yellow potentilla, and yellow coreopsis. A Russian Sage next to the agastache will flower soon.



Annual Madness! Cosmos Bright Lights are a huge performer, as are the zinnias and new guinea impatiens. They have been flowering for a couple of months probably and show no sign of stopping.
