Everything looks good!

The late summer gardens look so light and airy. Big masses of blooms are going.

Here are a few here in Utah

What a cheerful grouping.

Must have Matrona.

Its beautiful in all stages.The black stems are eye catching and the bud to bloom never looks bad.

I've never seen it before. Very pretty. And Paul, your yard should be in a magazine. Love the zinnias, the picket fence and all the baskets.

I can't take credit for that yard as it isn't mine but belongs to some people who I know. The home is one of the original pioneer homes here in Pleasant Grove and belonged to some of the first settlers here.

I shouldn't have called you on it! You could have just pretended it was yours! It's still gorgeous!

I "prowl' around my little friendly home town looking for attractive yards and take lots of pictures. I guess I should identify where they are taken better but get in a hurry

We are glad you take the time to find such beautiful gardens for us to see! Just like your nursery trips!!!

Many thanks....my pleasure

Thats a great idea Paul.We have a June issue of the local paper that features gardens in the city.
Sottobosco is reblooming with echies Hot Summer

clintbrown said:Thanks! I planted my 'Sun King' where it gets mostly indirect light but a little sun in the morning. It seems to like it too! I just bought it this year so I'm no expert, but it does seem easy to grow.

Clint this is one of my favourite shade plants. It just just glows in low light, the foliage always looks perfect and it is easily hardy for me. (I kept reading reports that it needed lots of moisture but in my experience there are many plants requiring more).

We have had 3 ASK in various locations in our garden for several years and it can easily go over 4 feet in height and breadth. I usually shape mine throughout the season to reduce its width.

Here is one of ours from mid July 2014.

Beautiful plant!

A few combo shots from last summer!

Veronica, a beautiful spot.

Thank you, Jo. Happy Gardening wishes to you!!
