I just planted 'September Charm' anemone a couple years ago, and they are just starting to spread. I have them near a corner where a spring blooming primrose, I think, which also spreads, is growing, soCorner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428890523957808283.post-24998872302987161132010-08-16T23:44:12.900-04:002010-08-16T23:44:12.900-04:00Valerie, your phlox is GORGEOUS!

I see too that the butterfly bush has lots of new buds aswell in the background.

I love your phlox. What a gorgeous color it is. Also, your pretty hibiscus, so dramatic those perennial ones. I have three, a red, 'Moy Grande' and some other pink variety. I can't grow the Lobelia because the heat here is too much for it.<br /><br />Thanks again. Loved seeing your flowers.~~DeeDee @ Red Dirt Ramblingshttp://www.reddirtramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428890523957808283.post-5776072385885075382010-08-14T23:44:37.623-04:002010-08-14T23:44:37.623-04:00Your blooms probably missed you in spirit and want...Your blooms probably missed you in spirit and wanted to put on their best show for your return...gorgeous!!!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18123627573356760362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428890523957808283.post-47017942361705694672010-08-14T21:56:59.176-04:002010-08-14T21:56:59.176-04:00Lovely blooms ... that Hibiscus is a stunner!
