More Flowers!

Lots of flowers yet to share with you.  We have several different coloujrs of the Echinacea hybrids, as well as the original pink ones which are spreading everywhere.  Then there are a number of other flowers in bright red, orange and blue.

The original Echinacea generate lots of seeds, so we now have some scattered through the garden.

The yellow and orange ones, being hybrids, don't produce seed, so don't spread at all.

The bright red Crocosmia are in bloom just now, and they do spread a little,, but they also need sun. The bright red is notoriously difficult to photograph.

We have one Bear's Breeches, which is a very unusual flower, very spiky, almost like a thistle.

These are pale purple Monarda.

And these are Bachelor's Buttons.

  2. More beautiful flowers. Crocosmia is like cardinal-flower and fringed ploygala in that digital cameras have real problems in rendering the color accurately.

  6. We have those original echinacea plants, and I can testify that they do seed and spread. One of our better specimens is now outside of the garden and on the adjacent lawn.

  7. I still remember my first painful encounter with Bear's Britches. Those bears must be particularly hardy in their nether regions!
