Even looked good this year until about early July. The hummers love them, but I'm not so sure I do. If they come back in the spring I'll definitely divide.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331433586619898590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-82686644696571271662011-08-11T15:12:26.261-04:002011-08-11T15:12:26.261-04:00FlowerLady, that's Perilla, wild basil.

The smell is nice, but it's very prolific. <br /><br />Cameron, I plan to move all these next spring. I want these larger types in the backyard instead of right by the door. I have other plans for that space.Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-17541767849323743572011-08-11T13:26:36.586-04:002011-08-11T13:26:36.586-04:00Amazing butterfly photo.

I love your agastache! :-) Take my advice on agastache like that. They can be short-lived after such a glorious display. In other words, when the plant looks its best, time to divide it next spring. <br /><br />Hope the "cooler" temps really happen. Enough is enough, right?<br /><br />Cute pup!F Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558874651743241988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-90150773660503892422011-08-10T12:41:27.877-04:002011-08-10T12:41:27.877-04:00It's good to see and hear about your gardens a...It's good to see and hear about your gardens again Tom and little Koda is a real sweetheart.<br /><br />What are the purple leaved or flowered plants in the first picture.<br /><br />Enjoy your wonderful flowers and gardens.<br /><br />FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.com
