FRIDAY'S BLOOMS from Upstate NY
The grass continues to get more brown by the day, except by the daylily gardens and by the road. Somehow the weeds continue to be green. It has been a challenging year getting photos as I don't remember a summer being this sunny. The Southern Tier of NY ranks up there are one of the more cloudy areas.
PINK TARANTULA : I can't wait until it gets established.
Susquahanna Great Balls Of Fire: Planted last fall. The colors are vibrant and rich in person.
FOREST GOD: I've had it for about a year.

last yearHere was the star of the garden on Friday: PINEWOOD HOLY SMOKE: I love the clean and crispness of the colors.
In the am at 6

After work
Here is my seedling which will get moved from the seedling bed and planted in better location for observation.
BEAUTY IN MOTION clump
HEMAN: Thought it did not make it after I really divided it for sales last year.
BIG HEARTED MOTHER being back lite by the morning sun.
CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS: New last fall. Here it is with some sun and then shaded at 5:00pm. Not very tall (12"). I am hoping for increased height once it gets established.
I hope to spend more time in the garden today. I have a couple of visitors coming today to tour the garden.

Comments (15)Jean: I know about hot and humid weather and we are suppose to get back to those dreadful temps/humidity later this week. For now, I'll enjoy the cooler and windy weather we are having now. Easier to get gardening work done. mantis: Glad it helps you. I don't mean to downplay a hybridizers creation but if it doesn't show improvement in 2 years, it has to go where it can flourish better. Even with this seasons up and downs (it could happen again), it's another way to see which cultivar is able to stand the test of our weather patterns.

Comments (12)Very nice pictures. Isn't it a treat when a bonus plant thrills you so much? I have several in my garden that I love, and never would have considered if they hadn't been sent as gift plants. I love the bold colors of CONCRETE BLOND and ALABAMA JUBILEE, but I have to choose PEACHES AND GOLD as my favorite (maybe because it reminds me of orange sherbert, which is sounding pretty good right now in the heat!).

Comments (1)Many people call that phlox but what you are describing is really probably commonly called "Dame's Rocket". The botanical name is Hesperis matronalis. (see link below) The bloom time will vary from year to year depending on weather conditions, and plants grown in sun will usually bloom sooner than those in shaded areas. You're considerably further south than me, and your growing conditions (woods) is different from mine, so I'd hesitate to guess for you. Here is a link that might be useful: Dame's Rocket...See MoreJuly 5th blooms from Upstate NY
