The bee balm (
Monarada) is nearly finished blooming
in the herb garden. A few flowers have
managed to escape through the fence.
The
lavender flowers of the anise hyssop (Agastache) are now in blossom.
This plant is actually neither anise nor hyssop, but it does smell like anise.
Also blooming are chamomile, yarrow, and
feverfew. The colors in the garden are
not as vibrant as they are in the spring but are still lovely.
A bench has been placed in the back corner of
the garden. It’s a perfect place to sit
quietly and enjoy the peace of the garden. It’s also a perfect place for the
herb garden weeder to sit and catch her breath!
