The Main Border at the end of August


 The main border is not at it's best this time of year, but there are some nice things happening. The geraniums on the far right look as if they might flower again soon. And, of course, the two Delphiniums at the far end are quite remarkable. 



The white flowers in the photo below are on the late flowering Hibiscus syriacus "speciosus". I had to look that up in my garden notebook. I wish I had bought the blue or lavender instead. But it is too healthy to move. 

Below is a brand new Echinacea to try to give some late colour to this part of the border.

And  the Astrantia below are in flower again.

Next to the lawn are these pink flowers that come up every year. No idea what they are, but some late August colour is always welcome.
