Garden favorites

 My prairie garden of natives along the driveway is making a fine job of taking care of itself this year. I've had to do little in it all year. It's about peak bloom right now. Of course being perennials there are different seasons for different flowers. Here's some of what's blooming now.

This is the woodland Joe-pye. I also gave the wetland variety. A favorite of the butterflies.

Monarda is pretty happy here.

The red Royal Catchfly is a favorite. The hummingbirds like it too.

This is hoard vervain. Across the street in the wetland I have blue vervain and narrow-leaved. 

There is more. Almost 20 different species blooming now. Some showier than others. I love them all.
