Garden in motion. Joe-Pye weed - with pink flowers and tall grasses provided the soundtrack for my sensory enjoyment of this prairie-style planting at RHS Hyde Hall in England

An ornamental Oregano called Bellissimo was my fav

An ornamental Oregano called Bellissimo was my favorite new flowering plant at the trade show for the Perennial Plant Association’s Annual Meeting and Symposium. Why do I already love it? I am a big fan of a similar but slightly larger oregano called Kent Beauty and this is slightly more vibrant in color and suited to small containers and windowboxes as a trailing plant. I can’t wait for it to be available on the market! It comes from Australia- so lucky followers from there may already have it - I am jealous. Thanks to @hortcouture for bringing this to American gardens.

Evening light in the garden. Peaceful but with some birds still calling and chirping. Bats twisting and turning overhead as night draws in. Just the time for meandering along the paths and seeing what has changed. Always something new to see. I hope that you are all getting to enjoy your gardens or somewhere out in nature this weekend. We know how good it is for us - how healing 🌸🌸🌸

Gladiolus murielae sometimes called Acidanthera. My first flower of the season. Attractive sword-like foliage and a white flower with a dark burgundy-purple eye in the center. Fragrance is rather like vanilla baby powder - if there is such a thing! I treat it as a tender bulb. Plant them as a corm in spring. They then bloom in waves from summer into autumn depending when you plant it and the weather. They can be lifted out of the ground and stored in a frost- free place over winter. If you garden in warm zones they will perennialize in the ground. They can be grown in containers that are then brought inside. Looks great rising up through hardy salvias, or catmint. Contrasts nicely with any flowering tobacco- Nicotiana, dahlias and zinnias.

Great pollinator plant for the summer garden - swa

Great pollinator plant for the summer garden - swallowtail butterflies and many other insects. This plant is found in the wild in the American prairies. Like many prairie plants it has really deep roots. I have not watered this and we have been in drought for weeks - luckily we just had some rain. Grows 8-12 feet tall with clusters of yellow daisy-like flowers. Silphium perfoliatum or compass plant or prairie cup plant. The two opposite leaves act as one as they clasp around the stem. Rainfall catches in the leaves and birds sit and drink from these mini birdbaths. When the seeds ripen I leave them on the plant and songbirds, especially finches devour the seeds when they arrive in groups - collective noun poetically named - a charm of goldfinches. The males are yellow and they bring that flash of yellow back to the top of the plant.

Seed collecting time in the flower garden. It is so dry in the garden that it is a perfect time to harvest them. We sprinkle some seed back in the area, some wherever we would like them in the future, dry some for future planting, and get some ready for seed exchanges. In my hand the circular discs of the money plant, silver dollar, or honesty - Lunaria annua. The capsules are from rose campion - Lychnis coronaria. Thanks to @vonschle for being such an avid seed collector.

Sunflowers are great additions to a sunny garden.

Sunflowers are great additions to a sunny garden. This one is 10-12 feet tall and is buzzing with pollinators. It would be a good cut flower if I could reach the flowers. Grown from a seed from last years plants.

My favorite garden space on this visit to RHS Hyde

My favorite garden space on this visit to RHS Hyde Hall was the little Robinson garden - named for Helen Robinson who was instrumental in starting the gardens.

Lilium Scheherazade is over 8 feet tall and so many blooms over the course of weeks. Only trouble is the name - even autocorrect had no idea what I was trying to spell! Good value for money. Look out for red lily beetles that devour lilies and fritillarias and squash them.

Poppy seed head - most delightful and geometric. This the top view. From the side the top gradually pulls away from the bottom to reveal pepper-pot like holes where the dry seeds - many of them - fall out. In my garden I have lots of finches that try to eat the seeds before I can collect them to sow or swap. It is a true wildlife garden. What seed heads do you like?

Amphibian week continues! After two different frogs I chanced upon this lovely toad hopping down the path to the herb garden. If you are lucky enough to have them you will know that they are a natural pest control - especially eating slugs.
