Some favorite images from the summer
Today we ’re in Zone 6 , visiting Lynne ’s garden .
Sweet alyssum ( Lobulariamaritima , annual ) makes low-spirited clouds of tiny blanched flowers . They can bloom all summertime long as long as the weather does n’t get too hot , and even keep blossom after the first Frost of fall . Here they ’re paired with a brilliantly colored ornamental grass that looks likePennisetum‘Fireworks ’ ( geographical zone 9–10 or as an annual ) .
This beautiful mixture of colorful leaf from annual comes from two different colors of sweet potato vines ( Ipomoeabatatas , Zone 9–11 or as an annual ) backed up by some coleus(Solenostemonscutellarioides , Zones 10–11 or as an annual ) .
Though sweet tater vine are mostly grown for the colorful foliage , their blossom are n’t bad either . These efflorescence make unmistakable their close relationship to morning glories .
Autumn fern(Dryopteriserythrosora , Zones 5–9 ) has beautiful frond that blush Marxist when they first emerge and then pass off to green as they age .
Coleus and fern take on extra beauty as they glow while being backlit by the sun .
