A beautiful bright pink phlox that is doing very well this year in the front bed.

Begonias from a hanging basket in the old silver maple in our backyard.

These orange-coral phlox are a new variety that Harald planted earlier this year.  They are in the back of the garden by the shed and they are so colorful they are very easy to spot even from many feet away.

These lovely echinacea blossoms are from the “Sunset” variety.  Absolutely gorgeous color.

These lovely echinacea blossoms are from the “Fragrant Angel” variety. Too, too lovely and a delicate perfume in the heat of the day.  Don’t you just love that pure white bloom?
