My husband noticed and enjoyed while he was mowing the lawn. The cimicifuga is a beautiful tall plant with medicinal properties. It is also called bugbane because the leaves are said to repel insects. It is sometimes called Fairy Candles and does light up the shade. Pat Jen – the lilies aare beautiful.

Cimicfuga is new to me -- it really brightens up the shade! I see lots of things here that I want to try next year - esp. the sweet pea and cosmos. Everything looks beautiful.

Now that I know what color mine are I can make use of it. The cimicifuga is in less shade than before with another limb of the apple tree being broken off by ice. Misty - My husband couldn't think why the air was so fragrant when he was mowing. Lilies! I guess he was concentrating on the grass too hard. Cathy - Those Casa Blancas are stupendous. Nell Jean - You are right. Always best to 'Never complain, never explain'. Rose - I think we do have a lot in common. And I hope you have a good source of more ooomph for your garden. I do, thank heaven. Pat MMD – Thanks for the tip about phlox. Now that I know what color mine are I can make use of it.

I know how hard it is to find a good color match for them. You should propagate your Phlox by cuttings. They are very easy to do that way. Then you wouldn't have to move one of them. (I love pink, and those two go together wonderfully.) I must be growing my Cimicifuga in too much shade, as yours looks so much more straight & upright.

Lilies bloom much earlier down here, so it's a treat to see yours. I'm still hoping for fall rebloom of daylilies. I think the best thing to do about weeds besides pulling them is not to mention that you have them. I’m crazy about lilies, and daylilies, too.

I love all the lilies growing up in the natural setting, and cosmos are quickly becoming one of my favorite annuals. I think you and I have a lot in common, Pat--I didn't put enough oomph into my lasagna gardening either:) I've been fighting the weeds all summer. As you say, just wait till next year!
