In the Garden - August

This past month, I discovered that (like June) there aren't a whole lot of August-blooming plants in the garden. Must rectify that when planning for next year. I will look into getting more dahlias, as well as some gladioli and phlox. As it stood, we had only the clematis (which started in mid-July, and lingered until about the third week of August), the new red daylilies, and the ever-stalwart red rosebush. Other than that, there were just plenty of weeds!

Luckily, I took a number of pics just around the garden generally, so I've put those in my Flickr album for August. While there wasn't much in the way of flowers, the garden was nevertheless at its greenest and most verdant last month.
