I've blogged my visits here once, twice, three times before.
Lots and lots of paths and stairs.
Here under the Japanese maples, a volunteer:
The rhodie I once called a manzanita. I still think the buxus-agapanthus-rhodie trio works really well.
More paths.
I'm never thrilled the first time I see Anemone hupehensis japonica in August. It always means the end of summer is drawing near. And I like summer.
At least we still have a lot of roses.
Two nice yellow roses. I prefer the simple one.
A big Phaseolus coccineus teepee near the rose garden.
I like these red and white flowers better than my single red.
I would have liked to taste a bean to compare with mine, but I didn't.
Pretty little borage.
Dahlias.
Dahlia + Amaranthus. I like.
Another interesting container.
I'm watching the Food Channel and I am STARVING! Let's finish this thing.
Check out this bench of recycled concrete.
It's not super-comfortable, but it's not like hell either.
They let the dry phlomis stalks stand.
Nice.
I have Lupinus arboreus next to Arctostaphylos bakeri 'Louis Edmunds' (a manzanita) and their proximity makes the scene a tad too gray and fine-textured to be nice. Maybe a big grass like this...
would be nice next to the manzanita.
It's nice to have a lot of manzanita would to decorate with. (AHEM! "wood")
Epilobium canum waking up underneath dormant Erigeron.
Acer circinatum.
Symphoricarpus albus.
A nice place to stop.

Yes, summer's lease hath all too short a date. It gets dark at 9 now.
Manzanita doesn't look like something I could grow in Seattle.
I wouldn't think you could grow manzanita either, but I was surprised you could grow Ceanothus.
Nice tour!
One day I would like my new garden to be that nice.
Summer's ending? I want a do-over. Yeah, you're right, I just went out and looked and the anemones are getting ready to bloom.
Beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing.
I used to grow that pink/gold dahlia. Yummy. And I love anemone, though your point is well taken.
Lisa + Phillip: You're welcome, as always.
Christopher: you and me both, my friend. I think you're going to have it sooner than I will, with your endless mountainscape.
LostRoses + eal: I don't exactly dislike the anemone--at least not for long. It's just, you know, *sigh*.
