Time to look at some of the new things in the garden

Two new daylilies…. Left is Tropical Surprise, Right is Rosy Returns

And two new lilies: Sugar Love and Solution. (I just love the dotted lilies!!!)

I love my pink Yarrow so much, I had to get more colours. The yellow was planted last fall (it just bloomed this year), and the red I got on clearance before the grocery store garden centre closed for the season this summer.

Both of these coneflowers were bought on clearance last year. Left is “Green Twister” and right is “Pink Double”. The petals coming out of the centre will get bigger and wilder as it grows.

I’ve got quite a collection of Tickseed now. This is Crazy Cayenne and Uptick Cream. Both are new this year.

I bought a couple Hollyhocks on clearance, and this one is the first to bloom. It’s growing sideways instead of up, so I’ve got to get some stakes for it.

None of these are “new” but they have have just started to bloom. They are three of my butterfly bushes. Black Knight, Queen of Hearts and Royal Red (which is of course, pinky purple). White Profusion should bloom by the end of next week and I’ll get pics of that one too.

You will recall how delighted I was with my yellow Geum earlier this year. I was happy to find a red one on clearance. I didn’t think it would bloom this year, but here it is! I want more colours!!!

This Beardtongue is a new addition to the newest garden at the side of the front yard. It’s loving it’s spot. I had some of this at the townhouse, but it didn’t survive the move. It certainly never bloomed like this there!

This pretty little think is a Cinquefoil. I bought it on clearance last year, and it’s kind of struggled along since. It seems to be very slow growing. It should eventually get quite shrubby. These pretty little blooms have been appearing on an off for the last month or so.

And last… I’ll leave you with this pretty Barbie pink Hibiscus (since it’s all about Barbie lately!!!). I will probably end up murdering it when I bring it inside for the winter (Haven’t managed to keep one alive yet), but It looks great potted up in the catio!
