This is Vesper, planted next to a coprosma shrub that I thought would compliment this rose which usually is more apricot in the warmer months.

This is a new bidens for me called 'Goldilocks Rocks', they are such wonderful long time bloomers here for bed edges and as spillers in pots. Nice delicate looking lacy foliage too.

My favorite bacopa, don't know the cultivar name though, larger blooms that the usual ones. I have it planted in a salvaged clay pipe (as shown in my blog) and it's been blooming non-stop for months now. I plan to get a lot more of these to scatter throughout the garden.

This is Cafe, an unusual colored tannish rose that changes it's shade with the weather, sometimes it's shows a lot more apricot as seen in some of my other database images.

This is Helichrysum 'Monster Fireball', a straw flower than has been blooming non-stop since I planted it in early summer.


and of course, pansies are hitting the nurseries, just picked up a flat of these "Frizzle Sizzle Mix'.
