Very nice. I for once agree that the double flower is looking better than the single [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

Can Bee Balm be grown in our climate is the question i sought sometime back. I think i can answer it now. Yes.
Monarda Bregamo/Bee balm, its not in full bloom as yet, brackets are extended and a in between flower is popping out. Stairway of 5. Good bushy habit, flowered in about 6 months. Trouble free, small seeds hence takes time to establish. Will share once in full bloom

Scabiosa Black Knight, indeed the bud is as black as it gets. Reds and pinks are also in the making beside standards blue.

Malva syslvestris

Malope fighting off heat well. But disappointed in a single color. It was supposed to be mixed.

Yarrow's first. As plants are 1 year old they are throwing multiple buds. Those seed grown this season are also making buds, however gr8ly under attack from caterpillars. Early summer is the baddest time for garden, high heat index, unsuitable plants, no rains when required, and load and loads of pests.

Another Holly celebrity, in shade & Sun.
