Thanks, Vic, Mike.
Vic, I'm the clueless one; don't know when to move on to the next challenge!
Mike, Merlin's Hollow really is a remarkable garden; David envisaged it as a grand Sissinghurst type garden, including the "rooms",
but modified to more modern perennial gardening tastes, interests and maintenance possibilities.
Back to our little garden: Pictures yesterday.
After all the alternating rain and drought, the summer garden has just begun to get going.
Phlox (Violet Flame and White/Red Eye Flame).
Daylilies ('Mary Brown' and 'Smuggler's Gold')
Beebalms ('Gardenview Scarlet' and 'Balmy Purple')
Culver's root (the taller is 'Fascination')
Shasta daisies ('Real Glory')
Even a second bloom on a Winky columbine.
Helenium 'The Bishop' (an early flowering form, in front of Sidalcea 'Party Girl')
Shasta daisy 'Mrs Cornell', in front of Echinacea 'Sundown'.
