First, Daylily Little Cadet. A smaller flower, but heavy bloomer that goes on for more than a month.
And Custard Candy below.

Liatris, or Blazingstar, is an unusual flower. The flowering begins at the top and works its way down. Not much fragrance on these 4' tall perennials, but the pollinators enjoy them.

Comments (10)This red squirrel has been entertaining us daily for weeks in his efforts to get to the feeders. First he goes up the pole....no good. Then he goes into the shrub on the left...no go, so then he tries the shrub on the right, nope again. So he tries the maple tree behind. That doesn't work either. So it's back to the drawing board.

An old one, but I like it. Gazania, does your Custard candy bloom low to the ground? Mine always has.

I have Rattlesnake Master in my native flower garden. This year, due to the on-going rain, it is more than 6' tall.
It usually does its thing in August, but this year is different in many ways.

These daylilies in our yard were growing at my father-in-law's place in Maine a few years ago.
My wife took a shovel dug some of them up, wrapped them in newspaper, and put them in a spare suitcase for the flight home.
