Maltese Cross is one of the easiest to care for plants that I grow. It’s quite hardy, grows tidily where I first planted it and returns each year to produce it’s lovely clusters of orangish red blooms.

Purple Delphinium
This delphinium grows like a weed in my garden. It either spreads or reseeds itself so well that each year I have to pull out several new plants just to keep this flowering plant under control in my garden.
Still, it’s a lovely flower isn’t it? Droopy little purple bell shaped blossoms.
Gayfeather about to flower
These are Gayfeather (Liatris) buds. Each bulb develops a spike in June and by Mid to Late July each year the tiny flowers on each spike begin to bloom. They have a soft feather look from a distance and look lovely in large round clumps.
