I was supposed to be doing laundry, which I did eventually, but…

Planted Autumn Colors rudbeckia and Route 66 coreopsis. Also planted morning glory and Chilean glory vine, and the last of the evening scented stock.

Moved the Carolina allspice to fill in the “peekaboo spot” by the woods. Hope it grows like mad and suckers like crazy. Also hope I didn’t kill it.

Moved the sad little persimmon. I think it was too wet there. It’s too close to the other one, but assuming it lives, I’ll be dead before I care.

Mulched the other one.

I still have photos on my camera that need to be posted, but for now…cool stuff.

Found a second bit of baptisia. I think I just had enough seeds for two spots.

Jewelweed looks wonderful. Hope the summer heat doesn’t murder it; I’d love to get a colony going!

First “yellow flower” (Heliopsis) soon.

This oxalis is growing in the soon-to-be-gone flowerbed on the patio. I know it’s technically a weed, but I like it, it’s native, and I just read today that it’s a host plant for a butterfly whose name escapes me ATM.

Foxglove near the patio. This is the one I planted last year that actually is Spanish Peaks, which the stuff I got this year is not (it’s white).

First fully opened gaillardia. I’m thinking of putting gaillardia in front of the “swamp bed”. Dunno…late for seeds.

Houston, we have…anise hyssop! I thought it was bee balm, so I broke a leaf and sniffed. Licorice–wonderful!!

544’s Bright Lights, getting there.

I should have been showering, but I had morning glory seeds in my pocket, so I yanked the weeds out and planted them just as it was getting dark. They’re red, which probably means purple, but meh.

Finally unloaded camera. Cute little Scudderia!
