  2. Never once did I see a hummer on my Black and Blue, and I have a lot of them planted too. The little buggers ignore them. Your garden looks great, just like every month. I love all your grasses, it is their time to shine.

  7. Your September garden is so full even as we move into fall. Yarrow's blooms are so lovely as they fade into more form than color. I really like the way you were able to capture the colorful bloom with the faded bloom...very nice. Happy GBBD!

  8. Lots going on in your garden as autumn falls upon us. The hummers love my black and blue salvia as well. Great shot! I like that Blue Switchgrass.

  9. Hey Greggo, sweet selection in your beds. Heart that Yarrow...always seems that those Achillea would make sturdy dried flowers for terrariums. Humming bird magic btw. Happy GBBD! Matti

  12. You have such beautiful combinations of plants, Greggo! Mealycup sage is one of my favorite annuals, probably because it's one of the few that actually looks better later in the season. Great hummer photo!

  14. I am quite jealous of your garden. Lots going on there.
    I'm going to have to rethink my garden...again. It may just turn into a desert garden....one that can stand freezes.
    The hell strip looks great.

  27. greggo, your blues and reds are so vivid! I wish we could grow crepe myrtle this far north... I'm tempted to put one in a pot and bring it in for the winter. It's such a lovely and colorful addition to your garden.
