Clematis, Abutilon, and Salvia
|
|
In front of the Abutilon we have the red Salvia 'Van-Houttei' and on the wall the late blooming Clematis maximowicziana.
|
Tibouchina urvilleana--not surprisingly known as the Glory bush--is even more exotic paired with the dark leaved Canna. Compare with Tibouchina multiflora seen at Wisley.

A Perfectly Matched Trio
|
|
The Aster novae-angliae 'Treasure' on the left, Tibouchina in the center, and the Buddleja on the right are perfectly matched in color. Add in the dark leaved Canna and I'm impressed--wow!

Purple Asters and Orange Tubular Flowers
|
|
Wildly orange tubular flowers of Cuphea 'David Verity' intermixed with purple Aster novae-angliae 'Treasure.'

The Ageratum 'Blue Horizon' has a silvery friend, Artemisia absinthium 'Huntingdon.' The genus Ageratum derives its name from "a" meaning not and "geras" meaning old because the flowers keep their color for a long time.

A royal purple Salvia with the logical name of 'Purple Majesty.'

The wonderfully geometric patterned vegetable beds of spring which, of course, became overgrown in the summer, have been replanted to once again return to their springtime splendor.
