Oh my. So what it this unusual beauty? Aster maybe? I love it. I was standing in the middle of this flower bed and took a picture from the left and the right. I would hate to have to weed all these beds. Last but not least a small Day Lily bed. So that wraps up our West of the Lake Garden walk.
The coleus are lovely and I must say ALL your photos are terrific! Thank you for sharing your outing with me Love it
That beauty was a Dahlia (Star-Stellar Dahlia 'Juul's Allstar') The rest of those foto's are absolutely stunning to see. What a magnificent place to visit.
Again I am so glad you all enjoyed the pic's. SJ-thank you for the Id on that neat looking dahlia. I will have to see about trying to grow that next year. Barb-I also have gotten some great ideas for next year. Netty I too would have to dead head all those plants. That is not just hours of work, but weeks of work keeping it look fresh.
