My garden is at its best in July. Now that we are in mid-August and autumn is around the corner, many of the perennials have finished blooming. However there are still some flowers that are late summer bloomers.
Rudbeckia are better known as black-eyed Susans.
The obedient plant is really not that obedient. It tends to be somewhat invasive, which is not surprising since it is a member of the mint family.
Cleome is sometimes called a spider plant. Although it is an annual, the seed pods which develop along its long stem insure that you will have plants come up from seed each year.
Summersweet is a shrub which flowers in the late summer.
The name is apt since it is very fragrant.
The Rose of Sharon bush is in full bloom.
Some of the phlox is still blooming.
The hardy hibiscus is now producing its showy flowers. The blossoms are bigger than my outstretched hand.
