the front garden last week
A sort of late summer portrait of the front garden. I'll take another when the native perennial sunflowers (the tall ones at right) bloom, which they've been on the edge of doing for a while.
Since this was taken last week, I've cleared out some of the tithonia (orange flowers at left), which was crowding smaller plants, and transplanted a rose to the northwest corner, where it will get more sun. The other two roses, the white and pink polyanthas, are both reblooming and seem very content.
The tithonia was a dramatic companion to the sunflowers, which is what I was hoping for, but didn't play nicely with others. Live and learn.
