I am very pleased with how my front bed looks this year. It is finally filling in the way I envisioned it. In fact, the Shasta daisies may be more abundant that I ever imagined! They are not blooming yet (but very soon). The yellow flowers are Asclepias tuberosa, perennial yellow butterfly weed. I planted it a couple of years ago, and this is the first year it has looked this good.
This is one hydrangea bush. I am amazed at the different colors in the blooms, since the soil acidity determined the colors. I must have mixed up soil in that corner. It is under a large oak tree. Anyway, I do love the blue flowers.
I just love this picture. No, it isn't from some Aztec ruin. We have lots of chipmunks in the yard. I saw this one sitting on the frog the other evening. I had to take the picture through the glass of the back door. The chipmunk kept running up the frog, and then back down. It was just too cute.

Delightful delightful, Clare, your garden is beautiful. Isn't it fun when your plantings come into their own and you see what you've always envisioned? The follow up, however, requires some control of the growth. At least that's been our experience. It's glorious to have the color and textures nonetheless. Enjoy!! I do.
