The Life force is strong...

the white flower clusters of the diabolo ninebark (physocarpus opulifolius 'Monlo')...

the native shrub eastern ninebark (physocarpus opulifolius) was planted amongst the Yarrow (achillea millefolium) and in front of the purple foliage 'diablo' variety...

wild bergamot (monarda fistulosa)...

this unknown shrub that came with the house puts on a spectacular display of flowers... the insects love them!



the eco-lawn and white clover pathways...

I was sold a misidentified native flower this year... what I thought was a sweet oxeye (heliopsis helianthoides), was in fact a late figwort (scrophularia marilandica), a interesting yet generally ugly and smelly plant... I was not impressed!

the transplanted hostas with the unnamed goldenrod species behind them... 

the black eyed susan vine (thumbergia alata) that I grew from seed has been planted at the base of the dead oak sapling...

several clumps of indian grass (sorghastrum nutans) were planted beside the goldenrod (solidago canadensis)

the purple coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea) are just about ready to bloom...

the flower clusters of the staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina) are just about to bloom as well...

I built a trellis along the porch for the dutchmans pipe (aristolochia macrophylla) to grow on...

the clematis 'MultiBlue' are still blooming...
