Such beautiful photos. I have to try asters again.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about Moss Rose - so pretty! I am making myself a note to grow it again next year. Thanks for the reminder!
Have a wonderful week!
Your front porch looks so welcoming with all of those healthy looking plants blooming. All of your blooms are lovely. Happy GBBD.
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love to find that Dynamite crape myrtle somewhere. The foliage on yours doesn't look quite as dark as what I've seen on some California blogs, though. We've gotten quite a few deluges of rain up here, and our morning temperature was down to 46 today.
ReplyDeleteI was always inspired by your Alabama garden, but you've outdone yourself here. Your thumb is not only green but magical.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous ! my Crape myrtle didn't bloom .
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteI can't help but notice that certain plants I grow (the goldenrod, the pineapple lily) look much better in your garden.
Maybe it's the cooler temps in the PNW? Lower humidity? Better soil?
Do you irrigate too? (I rarely do anymore.)
I would guess lower temperatures and less humidity. Maybe the soil? I am not sure. I do have to irrigate. We have not had any significant rain since June, which is typical for this region. It is Mediterranean climate - wet winters and dry summers.
