Today is a beautiful hot Summers day. The weather man appeared to have got it right as I nipped out with my camera at around 7.30am. A clear blue sky with the sillouette of the Thalictrum Elin.
The trouble with high sun is that it somehow bleaches the colours of the plants and makes them tricky to photograph. Earlier in the morning however I was able to capture the view before the sun moved onto them.
Grasses look wonderful in the sunlight but are rather difficult to picture clearly. This is Pheasant Tail grass and its shadow this morning.
Anemanthele Lessoniana
The colours of Verbena bonariensis and Joe pye weed are blending well and drifting throughout each of the four beds.
Closer up the Joe pye weed is most attractive
Eupatorium maculatum Atropurpureum group
Sanguisorba candensis
Sanguisorba is finally beginning to flower.
I hope you enjoyed this weeks view. Be sure to take a look at Cathy’s blog https://wordsandherbs.wordpress.com
Finally I want to share the beautiful blue in the weed bed. More about that another time. Borago officinalis.
You’ve captured the spirit of late summer and I think it has been a particularly good one this year. Like you I adore the light filtering through grasses and their movement.
Love all the grasses with that light – especially with the Allium and Eupatorium. You have reminded me to put borage on my seed list. I had a plant in spring but it seems to have disappeared. They usually seed themselves around so well. Have a good week Dorris!
Jealous of your Sanguisorba candensis. It looks lovely. I totally failed to get any to germinate.
I cheated and purchased 9 cm pots
You’re right that grasses are very difficult to photograph. Joe Pye Weed is one of my favorite perennials – though that is a long list.
My list grows each week! 🌸🌸🌸
I love sanguisorba and had some fab ones in spring. Sadly this terrible heatwave seems to have burnt my late ones. We’re all shrivelling, wilting…
The heat is too much for some plants and I am having to water more and more of them as they are showing visible signs of drooping, rather like their gardener!
