Yellow seems seems to be the color of choice for natives in my neck of the woods.
Some of the new blooms in the new native garden hellstrip are really responding to the growing conditions. Rudebeckia hirta, Verbena stricta, Eupatorium purpureum and Eryngium yuccifolium.

Yes, that hellstrip is looking great! You picked some impressive combinations. Ratibida has a fun personality.
ReplyDeleteYes, Ratibida is a new genus for me. I look forward to our relationship. he he.
DeleteYellow is a great color. It works well in so lots of impressive color combos. Your hellstrip looks fantastic. I really like your plant choices!
ReplyDeleteYellow has lots of pop!
DeleteHi Greggo
ReplyDeletegood to see you are still blasting us with fantastic colour. Hellstrips are new to me, glad to see it has nothing to do with a journey to an unfortunate destination. Anyway I definitely like yours and I also like ratibida which is also new to me. Take care, talk to you again sometime.
Good to "hear" from you Al.
DeleteI think of September as being yellow too. Between the waning Rudbeckia, the Solidago and all the hel-plants - Heleianthus, Heleiopsis and Helenium. Those last three confuse me frequently.
ReplyDeleteAnd all the hel plants are in the Hellatrip right?
DeleteYour garden is looking spectacular with all your yellow blooms. My rudbeckia were finished months ago. I wonder what the secret is to keeping them going throughout the summer. I notice that fork sitting among your plants. Neat idea. I have 2 fatter ones and I cannot come up with an idea for them. Maybe I just found one.
ReplyDeleteI think the Susan's went longer this year do to our cooler early summer. The goldstrums were done quite some time ago.
ReplyDeleteWe missed you at the Kansas Native Plant Society Annual Wildflower Weekend in Pratt - I met up with Melanie and GonSS. We thought we might see you, too. Next year perhaps we should plan ahead a bit better!
ReplyDeleteYour new hellstrip garden looks great. Love the designation of "Hel-plants"! I'm going to have to remember that one. Cynthia
Yes we should plan ahead next year. And think you for the comment.
DeleteWell Greggo,
ReplyDeleteMust tell you that your hell strip isn't living up to its name as it appears so lush. Can attest our mild Kansas summer has rendered many things in the best possible light. As we KS boys need to stay together, I'm off to subscribe and would be thrilled if you did the same.
Subscribe to the KNPS? Yes I've been a member for 3 years, its a fun organization.
DeleteThis is nice information i am also like yellow coneflower.
