It is beautiful in the garden .So many colors and interesting plants .One of my favorite grasses (Stipa)is in full bloom.It looks amazing in full sun and with breeze moving its flowers.
In a shaded corner astilbis in fool glory .I don't know there name ,got mother plant long time ago from a friend.They seed easy and thrive in poor soil.Colours may vary from light pink to amethyst.
