Flowers from the Garden: The Last of the Black Eyed Susans and a New Favorite


I am intent on enjoying these last few summery days although we have technically started the fall this year. My garden has a few more blooming plants. The black eyed susans- one plant is back from last year and has tripled in size and I got a few new plants in the ground this month in hopes that they will also come back big next summer. Another, my new favorite, the purple butterfly bush- which has been growing like a weed. Technically some varieties of the butterfly bush are considered a weed and are not even allowed to be planted in certain states. But I find them to be lovely, and this bush is filling in the corner of our lot (and my flower arrangements) quite nicely.
