Lychnis cognata and Hemerocallis 'Myra Hinson' are just about a perfect color match in the orange-apricot bed.

Color Match in the Flower Garden
| |
| |
And Matched Again!
|
|
And peach-colored Dahlia 'Peaches' also seems to be a perfect color match for the Lychnis and Hemerocallis on the left.
|

Red-flowering Monarda 'Colrain Red', Berberis thunbergii f. atropurpurea, and dark red-leaved Atriplex hortensis var. rubra in the red bed.

And Now For Reddish-Purple
|
|
Red leaved Canna.sp., reddish-purple flowering Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Firetail' (AGM) and Chenopodium giganteum with its new foliage a glowing magenta--another successful color palette.
|
|
Amazingly dark purple Sweet Pea 'Midnight'.
|
| |
Lathyrus odoratus
| |
| |
Justicia carnea
|
|
Always a favorite--this evergreen shrub from Brazil and a member of the Acanthaceae family has been brought out from the Conservatory and is suddenly blooming quite well in a partly shaded spot.The genus is named after J. Justice, a Scottish gardener, and this species is known as the King's Crown.
|
|
Variegated Hop foliage--Humulus japonicus 'Variegatus'-- amidst a patch of Joe Pye Weed--Eupatorium purpureum--with its new leaves tinged purple.

Echinacea pallida
|
|
Not actually in the Flower Garden, although it certainly could be, this Echinacea has wispy pale pink petals with spots of a darker pink.

Shown quite tall and in bud on June 28, the strikingly prickly Fuller's Teasel is now even taller and its flowers are being visited by a bee.
|
|
Quite different from the standard Impatiens used for bedding everywhere, this tender perennial species from the western Himalayas grows to three feet high and has pink and white flowers. A member of the Balsaminaceae family.
|
| |
Impatiens balfourii
| |
| |
Impatiens glandulifera 'Alba'
|
|
And another "different" Impatiens, this is a close-up of the species shown below. An annual, it self-sows and returns every year.
|
|
White Lysimachia clethroides in the front, Heracleum antasiaticum with its dried seed heads in the middle, and soaring Impatiens glandulifera in the background
