July 2011 Blooms - The Front Walk

Perennial Rudbeckia:
Goldsturm, I think

Rudbecki triloba

Rudbeckia 'Henry Eilers'

Melampodium

Zinnia 
And here's the whole thing:

For more July blooms, head on over to May Dreams Gardens, where Carol hosts Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day on the 15th of each month.

  4. I am so fond of melampodium because it reseeds in all the right places, cleans up after itself and laughs at drought. Today I saw a little butterfly light on one. Surprise!
