Echinacea Purpurea and Canna 'King Humbert'

While we are busy taking kids to the pool, picking local blueberries, biking some short trails, enjoying tea and fresh blueberry peach galette on the patio, buying "new" used books at our local library sale, swinging in the hammock, playing with our new bunny Ginger, etc., it is nice to know that the garden can just hold its own for a little while. Purple coneflower (and also the white ones, also in this bed) make summer color look effortless.
Hope you are all out enjoying the fruits and joys of summer!

    I agree, Julie! One of the joys of many of our summer perennials is they put on a show with very little help on our part.
  • It's a good thing they do too, just too hot to be out gardening around here so the garden has to take care of itself for awhile. Great photo:)
