Hillsbough, NC
Many blooms coming to an end except for plumbago (just starting), clematis, and butterfly bush. Dianthus holding on too and a wallflower. There were more annuals blooming but the deer trimmed those good. One coneflower. A few in bud. Rue has buds.. Autumn joy just coloring up. Sedum uniformly happy. Rudbeckia maxima has immature noses...rather small this year -- too shaded by grandfather's beard ....bee balm in bud. Gaura doing real well. Heat has hit. Humidity too. No predicted rain until next Thursday ..and pitiful chance at that. We are on a well...and so I water...but not crazy water.
Here Is gaura to left of stream and the white in separate photo..not as unruly as pink ( <next to last photo )
And my one lonely coneflower ( last )
Also 2 photos of the wildflower garden along the riverwalk where I walk in Hillsborough. Loaded with bees. DH is dangerously allergic and so I avoid large plantings of wild bee loving stuff. But lots blooming in there.
