New flower bed created in our backyard with full sun in the afternoon.
Added Delphinium (label said it was Summer Morning Light Pink, but it clearly is not)
Snow White Bee Balm (Monrovia) tucked in beside it.
White phlox at the back edge.
Added some snapdragons selected from the front border and planted to reseed for next year. Planet Blue Delphinium tucked in on the left.Scabiosa Royal Ruby-Absolutely couldn't resist this deep dark colour.And the central flower bed from early spring which is a mixture of everything moved from the vegetable garden patch.
I love that scabious too @HouseFinch. I'm very fond of those dark, red/purple colours There is a dark one which looks like a more conventional scabious, Dove. Can't remember it's name.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
@Fairygirl Would that be the pincusion variety? Just went out and picked up both a pale one (Giga Silver), and more blue one today (Flutter Deep Blue), then discovered three on our back border that haven't bloomed yet. It will be a surprise~~!
Edit:
Online research indicates the one in the picture is an annual-but I could swear that it was a perennial in our garden this year. Plus the ones I have just bought are labelled Perennials. Possibly different varieties-and pincushion is just the colloquial name I guess.
