Two posts without pretty pictures, so I shall rectify that by getting around to Garden Bloggers Bloom Day only 24 hours late.
Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii 'Goldsturm'
The centre of the flower looks as rich as Christmas pudding.

Nice to see your blooms - I like your Clematis 'Black Prince' and the Verbena hastata 'Rosea' looks very elegant.

What a wonderful garden. I had not seen an upright verbena--it's quite lovely.

Thank you for your comments :-).
ReplyDeleteI've planted Clematis 'Black Prince in all three of the gardens I've had, leaving a trail of them when I move.
The Verbena hastata is as loved by the bees & butterflies as V. bonariensis
I like the Rudbeckia. Rear views of flowers - what a good idea - saves lots of undignified contortions with the camera.
ReplyDeleteI WANT GRANDPA OTT!!!
ReplyDeleteHi there, great blooms :-D
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos - great quality! My favourite bloom has to be the Clematis 'Black Prince' - I might go shopping for that one :-D
Beautiful garden !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers in summer...
Thanks from the south of France !
Those photos are fantastic - a real pleasure to view.. My verbena hastata looks very mildewed..
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful blooms! Wonderful job with the camera too.
ReplyDeleteThe Verbena hastata is lovely, and Black Prince is a beauty too. I definitely must try the Grandpa Otts.
My Japanese anemones have just begun blooming. They're so delicate..but tough at the same time. This is their first year of bloom for me...given to me by a friend last fall. I love them!
