    The yellow flowers are Rudbeckia. I'm not a great flower expert (as you know), but I have a Rudbeckia in my garden, so I know this one! Yours is probably "Goldsturm", like mine.

    Oh so pretty. Our flowers are fading. Fall is creeping in. You have such a nice variety.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my visit as we seem to be gardening in a similar fashion...organically and with clay soil. I really love the lobelia and that agapanthus.

    Hi Kelli, Your plants are so pretty. You have so much that's happily blooming away.....I love the Penstemon.....and am not having much luck growing it so it's fun to see how beautiful it can be.
    The Lobelia is lovely. I have blue but the blooms aren't nearly as impressive......

    I like the Echinacea after seeing some in flower on our short visit to RHS Harlow Carr last week. I think we might be looking for some Magical Moonlight though.

    Viewing your flowers today reminds me of the plants here along the shores of Lake Michigan inUSA. I grow all of those here in the gardens. Nice to see others half way around the world enjoying the same. Jack

    See, now we see the benefit of your cooler summers! Many of those blooms are now faded away, and yours are still gorgeous.
