I have so enjoyed seeing what's blooming in others' gardens on Bloom Day. It's a series of inspiring armchair garden tours, seeing what everyone grows that I do, or don't and wish I did, how they combine plants, and what they choose to highlight. I'm finally participating with images from my own garden, though I'm several days late. For more Bloom Day coverage go to May Dreams Garden So here goes:

Very interesting liatris -- how big is that? I like your photo of the clethra - nicely done with the light from above and a little behind.

Ray, the Liatris is probably 2.5 feet tall. The white form is a little less common. Thanks for visiting. Sarah
ReplyDeleteGood to see you blogging again, and what great photos! Sorry I didn't say hi at the meeting tonight, the talk ran later than I expected and we had to rush out.
