Blooming Tuesday

I am really loving this speedwell 'Sunny Border Blue'. I originally planted it in one of the whiskey barrels on the deck, A few weeks ago, I moved it here.

It has been blooming since June. That is what I call a great perennial!

I was pleasantly surprised to go on my garden walk Monday night and see that canna 'King Humbert' had shot up a couple more blooms.

So much better than my last pic which had just one red bloom. I am beginning to like this dull canna more each year. I think the elephant ears that I have planted in the same container adds a bit of interest.

My obedient plant is just starting to bloom.

In my garden Obedient plant is such a lackluster perennial. The flowers are very tiny and it is so invasive that I have removed it from most areas.

This particular area is all rock about three inches down, so I am pretty happy to get anything to grow here. That is the only reason that Obedient plant remains in my garden.


It is better than nothing--but not much better!

So go visit the other gardens at Jean's Blooming Tuesday and see what they have. It has to be better than my dull Obedient plant!
