Toadlily 'Purple Beauty'
This is one of my newest additions this year to the garden. I’ve had another cultivar for years but I don’t know the name of it anymore. You can see a picture of it in a previous post here. Don’t you love the fuzzy buds? 
Seedhead of Butterfly Weed
When I was strolling through the garden this morning I noticed this strange looking seedhead on the Butterfly Weed. This plant is one I definitely want to encourage to thrive. It’s been difficult to get one established in the past, but I think I finally got the right location.
Yorktown Onion
One plant I’m thrilled to see finally emerging is the Yorktown Onion or Allium ampeloprasum. You can read more about this non-native here. I planted a dormant clump of it earlier this year and figured it was dead when nothing sprouted by summer. Looks like I’ll have something to look forward to next year.
