A Garden Update

By John Markowski @jmarkowski0

What's been doing in my garden these days:
Monarda (Bee Balm) is reliable, spreads as I need it to, has great color and attracts the critters:    



My Purple Coneflower/Russian Sage combo is the oldest in my garden and never disappoints:


Hot damn, I love this Helenium (Sneezeweed) 'Short n Sassy':

The first of the Eupatorium (Joe Pye Weed) to bloom. This is 'Baby Joe':

The Physostegia (Obedient Plant) is blooming weeks before it ever has before:

Phlox'n awesome:

Man do I love daylillies ('Little Grapette') ... pause for effect ... look up hypocrite in the dictionary ... lose my street cred:


 First Coneflower "Sunshine' bloom:

Awaiting first Coneflower 'Fragrant Angel' blooms:

Filling in nicely:
