It's REALLY yellow this year!! Those Branched Coneflowers sure took over this year-good thing they are biennial!!

Netty,
That is really neat how it transitions like that..
Thank~You for those pictures..
It's fun to watch it as it changes!!!

It's beautiful, Netty!

That bed is really lovely, Netty, and it's nice to see the seasonal changes. Does the water pump work or is it just for "eye-appeal"...whichever, I like that, too.

Great to see the transitions. You did a beautiful job. I love the plant choices.

No, the water pump doesn't work-I wish it did!! (I notice it needs a paint job too!)

Wow!! That is SO impressive. The boulders are placed beautifully. The height of the different flowers are perfect. Colors are a delight.

I have a large tree on my property that is crying out to be the centerpiece for an imaginative garden like that. Stand tall!! You've done an inspiring job of gardening!!

Very beautiful garden! I started a new garden this year and hope that it turns out as well as yours....I would even settle for half as well!!

Looks wonderful Netty...impressive

We had an above ground swimming pool that we took down in the back yard. We added soil and composted cow manure to the sand that was left and tried to grow grass. Well the grass never grew and we had quite a large spot in the back yard that was bald. My plan was to rototill and keep adding organic material. I wanted a water feature, but thought a pond would be too much work, so I settled for a fountain. My husband looked at me like I had 3 heads when I first explained my idea. He started to see the light when I reminded him that it would be less grass to mow! So, I got my new garden this summer and now that it is done he likes it!

Hi Netty,

We grow rocks here in WA too... lol!

You made wonderful use of yours Think we have similar taste... would you help me with my poor excuse for a garden? Our house is at least 80 years old too, but it has a few 'established' garden areas.

Here's a link dahlia patch

oh, how beautiful, gives me ideas for next spring project. what is "branched coneflowers", are they different from regular?

A burst of color!!super!

Faerywatcher - Branched coneflowers are Rudbeckia Triloba and they are biennial. I really like them because the blooms last a long time, but you got to be carefull...they re-seed like crazy!

WOW! Netty
im late in posting this, but had to say its gorgeous! you did a great job!
