My mouth is dry from drooling over your garden! That is the epitome of a beautiful garden to me.
Your color scheme is gorgeous!!! If I were a butterfly, I would be in that garden, too. ;)
Please tell me, what is the orange flowering plant that's last in the row?
Thanks! What a sweet thing to say! I'm planting flowers to attract the Butterflies and Hummers.
The orange flowers are Butterfly Weed (Gay Butterflies variety). In this particular bed, I also have 'Raspberry Delight Salvia (High Country Gardens), Yellow 'Prairie Sun' Rudbeckia, 'Grosso' Lavender, 'Little Spire' Russan Sage, 'Blue Fortune' Agastache, other varieties of Agastaches, Verbena Bonariensis, 'May Night' Salvia, 'Fanfare' Blanket Flower, 'Kim's Knee High' Coneflower, 'Soulmate' Milkweed (not shown in pic) and other flowers.
That orange milkweed has a beautiful kind of arching look to it; I have scarlet milkweed, but it seems to have a stiff upright blooming habit (when it's not being devoured by milkweed caterpillars) ;) But I grew it for them anyway!
Good luck- hope those butterflies show their appreciation for the beautiful garden you've given them. :)
