Good gracious, you must have much warmer weather than we do here - even my marigolds and mums are long gone now. :o( Beautiful, and great work! I wish there was a way to take a photo of your entire yard, I bet it's just gorgeous!

ooh. The cyclamen. I don't go out the the back nearly enough to check on what's going on. The few cyclamen corms I planted a few years ago were promptly snatched by some pesty squirrel, so I'm not sure what's still out there. Whatever is, is probably not very healthy and happy, so I was actually really surprised to find that cyclamen! And happy too I should say!

The alstroemeria I LOVE. I've heard of people not having luck with the sweet laura coming back, but for me, every plant has to be a plant-it-and-forget-it, and it's been great, and has come back every year.

I also don't cut flowers nearly enough, but that would be a great one to cut.

I'm amazed how much growth you still have. Must be the difference in locale. All of it is very pretty.

Wendy,
Still so much going on at your place! I am going to have to ad Gaillardia to the ever-growing list of plants to grow. How long do Cyclamen's bloom for? Just curious.

Your crysanthemums are as beautiful as your dad's :-D I like that 'saga nashiki'... oh shounds so Japanese he he... Regarding Gaillardia, yes I agree that such plants deserves a place in every garden for it is so loyal and beautiful at the same time. Enjoy your garden Wendy!

Gaillardia grows wild here. It is absolutely beautiful on the side of the roads in August, when it is so hot out you can't catch a breath. My kind of plant!

Hi Wendy~~ I'm convinced I have to have Northern Sea Oats. Now more than ever. Love the cyclaman underneath. That Gallardia is tempting too. I can almost smell your roses. The purple mum is really unusual. And speaking of unusual, 'Laura' looks like an exotic tropical from the islands.

Love your A. 'Sweet Laura.' A number of years ago, this plant was sold at local nurseries here (Maine) as hardy to Zone 4 (yeah, right!). I really enjoyed mine for the one season that I had it, but it's nice to see it growing happily in a more suitable climate. -Jean
