I love the tall cut-leaf rudbeckia; I have a close relative, Rudbeckia x 'Herbstsonne' that is just beginning to bloom. I am bewitched by the colors of the water hyacinth and took multiple photos of the same species on my last visit to the Montreal Botanical Gardens. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205789828720292919.post-15101113509280531972012-07-17T05:52:51.914-04:002012-07-17T05:52:51.914-04:00Everything looks so lush and healthy!

My other ligularia, dentata 'Desdemona' Golden Ray, looks pretty sad - definitely needs more water.<br /><br />I forgot to mention I have an active Robin nest in the wall of Hydrangeas and Grapevine. I've been enjoying watching them fly in and out with bugs. Can't see much of the little ones, though.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07694829333592209275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205789828720292919.post-60330056158371970412012-07-16T14:01:55.550-04:002012-07-16T14:01:55.550-04:00Thanks for that tip Diana.
