A few blooms from this morning:

My Verbena 'Lollipop' is a huge hit with the pollinators, especially the skippers!

Melampodium 'Showstar' is finally getting big. Was a slow starter this year for some reason.

Coleus is always such a nice treat in the garden--such beautiful colors available. Too bad it's a tender perennial!! Oh, well, gives me a chance to try new things each year! Smiling


Marigold--always a staple in my gardens. I find it especially useful around plants I want to protect from munching bugs and rabbits.

Cosmos sulphureus has been a big hit with the pollinators too, and I'm enjoying it with the Crocosmia.
