Origanum rotundifolium "Kent Beauty"

It took me few years to find this plant It is just an oregano but what a beautiful oregano it is. . Origanum is a low growing, spreading plant, and looks like a mini shrub.Papery pink brackets are shaped somewhat like the flower of the hope plant .Colors change from pink to mauve, to almost purple. It is drought tolerant, and to much water or moist soil we kill it.
Perfect plant for the rockery, rock walls and hot sunny places.

Berlandiera Lyrata

It started to rain so I came in to wright about my new addition to the rock garden Berlandiera lyrata -Chocolate daisy
It is a small plant , about 15 in.Nice yellow daises are open early morning and smell like cocoa and vanilla . After temperature rises yellow petals fall to ground leaving behind green center which look like perfect green daisy.
I planted Chocolate daisy in very well drained , sandy soil and full sun .So far I didn't water it I just enjoyed it.I will be planting many more next year .The rain stoped ,we got all together 5 minutes .I have to go and water again.

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.

Opuntia

We still waiting for rain.Its so hot and so dry.Earth in the field is cracking up.Opuntia's love that kind of weather.Patches are getting bigger and blooming beautifully..
Most of plants in a garden doing well .
