August Garden Bouquet

No, the beebalm seed heads on the nice native I have in my garden are not that pink.  I dry brushed them with a chipping brush and pink paint.  Notice the fennel flower heads and the broccoli leaves?  Also included seedheads of rudbeckia nitidia, statice, and ornamental oregano.

This coleus looks like a flower basket all on its own.  The strappy foliage of the variegated airplane plane really makes the other colors pop.  It is hanging in my dutchman's pipe.  I'm probably going to regret that location choice.

Rudbeckia triloba; yes, there is quite a bit of that in my garden.  Maybe, can you say weed...

It does combine well.

Got to be my almost favorite sedum, 'Matrona'



This Sheffield mum is nice.  It blooms early compared to others.
Overall, lots of bloom, a tad too much yellow.
