The Salvia pitcheri is blooming well this year, and for much longer than the typical week or two. This one has been blooming for, what, a month now? It's making a nice contrast in color with the stinky yellow blooms of chamisa (Ericameria nauseosus).
Here it is again, with Salvia chamaedryoides behind it.
Salvia chamaedryoides with mariola (Parthenium incanum) behind it.
Salvia 'Indigo Spires' has gotten darker in the cooler weather, the calyces holding a nice dark purple.
Salvia coahuilensis is still blooming. I don't think it ever stops if I don't prune it back. The light green foliage is very aromatic and I smell it on my clothes for a while after I walk by the plant.
The rosemaries are blooming again, this one 'Blue Spires'. Interestingly, 'Salem' still hasn't bloomed for me.
Penstemon clutei has bravely put out a single stem (in front of a seed head from Ceanothus 'Gloire de Versailles'.
A few stems poking out from Lavender 'Royal Velvet'.
The Ceanothus caeruleus has decided to bloom again, but nothing compared to the spring bloom. Ceanothus 'Gloire de Versailles' is still blooming as well (not shown).
Agastache 'Firebird' is still going strong, in front of Calamogrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster'.
...and what's not blooming in the garden. My neighbor's 'Raywood' ash, with my Juniper 'Wichita Blue' in front. Not bad...I have shown 4 plants that aren't blue!
