A big fan of Lucifer too, in our garden it is a jolt of colour in a purple sea of Verbena bonariensis. I must confess I still love this time of year, as I watch Japanese anemones unfolding their simple flowers and see a glimpse of tightly furled yellow buds on the helenium; avidly watching asters and rudbeckia for signs of flowers, while keeping a close eye on the turning wild plums to catch them dry and ripe for jam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-14625185008726114622012-08-08T09:24:38.870+01:002012-08-08T09:24:38.870+01:00What a beautiful and eclectic collection of flower...What a beautiful and eclectic collection of flowers all wrapped up in verdant greenery. <br />it is interesting that in Wales July is seen as the end of summer - although our weather remains glorious there is definitely a hint of change in the air.
