An Update on the Layered Sunny Corner Bed

You could visit the first post and the second post with information about change and progress in my sunny corner bed. The following photos show what we saw this past week out there.

Check out that "Stargazer" in the center! :-)

I'm going to apologize for the quality of this photo. You'll notice the catmint on the left, a new daylily in the center front (help, MMD!), Stonecrop Sedum "Pink Chablis" at left behind the daylily, Stonecrop Sedum "Purple Emperor" on the right (taller than it's supposed to be!)

Butterfly Milkweed in the center with Russian Sage behind it, and a tiny dianthus at the front right.

Here's a close-up of my mystery daylily. :-)

Stonecrop Sedum: Purple Emperor (seen above) and "Autumn Joy"with daylily "Pardon Me" and a bit of iris leaf.

Now you can see the iris leaves as well as the turk's cap Tiger Lilies. In the front bed you'll notice a pot of tuberoses next to my new butterfly bush entitled "Adonis Blue" And, yes! Two tomato plants! ;-)

In fact, you might notice another tomato plant between the Russian Sage and "Kwanzo" daylily.

Back to the front bed. After the tomatoes you'll see three parsley plants (two for the Black Swallowtails and one for me), a nice area of carrots that continue to be thinned, a couple of pepper plants (only one is doing very well), and Rhubarb! Alyssum is in the front of the border.

I wanted to have my fun and eat it, too! ;-)

Hasn't this been a great year for gardening in this area?
Hope you enjoyed the little tour.
(Not too "shady!")

This is a "P.S.". One last (north) view of the bed.
Some of you might also be interested in the Stonecrop Sedum "Matrona!"
It's on the left between the daylilies.
