And that problem is an enabling husband… who, when I say “I want to go to the garden centre” replies with “Sure.” instead of “Are you insane… where are you going to put more plants???”

And then this happens.

Another garden cart full of perennials that I have to try and find a home for! Happily, a good many of them were on clearance. The cart has a lot of Yarrow – because as I’ve said previously – you can never have enough. These new ones are all shades or pink/red, but none are in prime bloom so no pictures.

I also got a Cranesbill (hardy geranium) which isn’t blooming either – it’s a plant I’ve tried to grow from bare root, but without luck.

But I also picked up a new butterfly bush

A lovely light pink called Princess Pink. It is now in the front garden and when it grows larger next year, it will give some balance to front along with the Ruby Red Butterfly Bush beside it.

I picked up this glowing pink, hardy chrysanthemum as well. The single mums aren’t as a common sight around here, and I do love things a little unique.

I got two more Tickseeds – a solid red, and dark magenta white. I think I have a fabulous little collection of Tickseeds now! (though I’ll always be on the lookout for more.

And Dave picked out this Phlox. He doesn’t often point out plants, so hen he did with this one, I figured I had to get it. I only have one other Phlox in the garden (a plain white one), that I just added this year.

I also picked up a couple more Black-Eyed Susans, and a Blanket flower because they were excellent prices. But no pictures – you’ve seen them before.

Now… I’ve got to try to stay out of the garden centres for at least a month and a half… and then we will be safely into the colder weather. Of course… bulb planting season is upon us!
