    Oh, yes, you certainly do have some lovely blooms to share! I'm planning to replace some Barberries with some Beautyberries. They are so gorgeous and not invasive here. Happy bloom day!

    Wow, you have some unique plants. I am especially smitten with Leonitis (possibly because I am a leo and because it is orange).

    Looks good! I wonder if 'Bolero' would be hardy for me?

    Given the atrocious weather you have a lovely selection of blooms. I particularly love the leonitis.

    It is still summer there! The first frost arrived this past weekend here. Now it is time to tidy up.
