Re: Garden Update 2013....Epilogue
Pin-cushion is looking great.
Is it annual or perenial here in our climate?

Re: Garden Update 2013....Epilogue
Flowers can not to be judged best at this time. Firstly because of heat which causes them to lose color & dull out as well as reduction in their size and secondly the scourge of caterpillars.
This is first of cone flower. Size is small(2in), it is suffering from transplanting which i had to do in preparation of shifting. Secondly every bud of every flower at this moment is half eaten by some type of caterpillar. .
Better color in Scabiosa......Scabiosa has been fairly heat tolerant. But one bad aspect about it is that like all plants which make a rosette leaves (amberboa/sweet sultan etc), when it flowers it becomes very tall and lanky. I think the order we made of scabiosa may prove a better decision as its somewhat smaller height plant.

Re: Garden Update 2013....Epilogue
I am confused....maybe you are right. Cone flowers and rudbeckias got mixed up.....foliage of this one appeared similar to cone.

Re: Garden Update 2013....Epilogue
Sunflower field is almost ready for harvesting......
Malva was cut down after flowering......it is showing fresh growth and signals that its a perennial in our climate.
Yarrow is doing fine as well in drought conditions......Sorry guys who i committed for this plant. As soon as weather gets little cooler i will attempt to divide and dispatch this plant.
Perennial Verbena is also good at fighting hot weather
Zinnias
