Morning view with bright sunlight
I have not managed to update my Tuesday view for a couple of weeks and the main difference seems to be the bleaching of the grass Calamagrostis Karl Foerster.
Calamagrostis Karl Foerster
The Tuesday View is hosted by Cathy at https://wordsandherbs.wordpress.com It is a meme for us to watch and share the development and seasonal changes to an area in the garden. If you would like to join in please be sure to add a link back to Cathys blog.
Eupatorium, Joe pie weed is now showing its full colour and has reached a height of about 1.5m. I have had to water it the last few weeks as it shows droopy leaves when it begins to dry out.

Flowers of the Joe pie weed mingle with Verbena, Thalictrum elin towers above
The purple of Joe pie sits happily with the ever delightful Verbena Bonariensis. The Verbena has self sown itself around the beds and is suggesting a take over bid. The magnificent Thalictrum Elin has finished flowering and its remains tower above.
Echinacea purpurea
Since last time I posted the Echinacea has opened its petals to reveal its lovely form. I love a daisy shape flower, don’t you?
The forecast remains pretty good for this week so I hope you get a minute to sit in your own garden and feel the grass tickle your toes. One final thing I must show you, not in this view but in the garden cutting beds.
Lily
The scent of this Lily is so powerful I bet you can almost smell it.

Oh yes, I can smell that lily from here! 😉 I love the combination of Eupatorium and the Karl Foerster grass. We have been walking our dog in woodlands nearby recently to escape the sun and Eupatorium grows along the pathways with various grasses interspersed – absolutely glorious. And I can see where Mr Foerster got his inspiration! Thanks for joining me again this week Dorris!
Pleasure is mine!
I imagine the dog walk is a treat for the eyes
I think I shall have to add some of that grass somewhere here too – I have enjoyed watching the progress of my other newish (last year) grasses.The stand of verbena looks especially lovely – and so are your lilies although it’s a shame about the l****s … 😉
Yes it has a good structure, very upright. I’m sure you will find a spot 😊
I love thalictrum and Elin is a beauty. That Eupatorium is a beauty and looks wonderful with the Calamagostris.
Thank you Chloris, I am pleased with the combination.Thalictrum is one of my all time favourites now.
