Keeping it simple today with photos and some quick comments.
Enjoy.
Joe Pye Weed (Eupatorium) ‘Gateway’
Hummingbird Moth (I think) on Phlox ‘David’
Ladybug patrolling for aphids … and we thank her.
Butterfly on Monarda ‘Petite Delight’.
Berries on Viburnum ‘Emerald Lustre’.
Blooms on Panicum ‘Rotstrahlbusch’.
Buds on Chelone Glabra.
Blooms on Lobelia Siphilitica slowly appearing from the bottom up.
Hibiscus ‘Kopper King’ leaves. An absolute new fave, even without the blooms.
Found a seedling of Hypericum ‘Albury Purple’ from out of nowhere. Good times.
Carex ‘Cappuccino’. I love it, but many many will disagree. Well you are all wrong.
I like this Geranium ‘Brookside’ better after a shearing and no longer in bloom.
Enjoy your weekend!

Pretty photos, thanks for sharing them!
I like that swallowtail photo a lot!
Kopper King is a new plant for me. Love its foliage.Good job with capturing a hummingbird moth!Have you had your Joe Pye for a long time? Mine is getting taller and taller. This year, I pinch one plant’s tops, but even after that, it grew huge.
What cool critters on your plants. Love the butterfly pics.
Pretty flowers! My Joe Pye weed hasn’t opened up yet but it won’t be long. I have a few geraniums that need a hair cut. Will put that on my garden to do today.
Tatyana – have had the Joe Pye Weed for three years now. Moved them last year to their current location and they have thrived immediately.
Beautiful! I love seeing the hummingbird moths. They are amazing.
