A visit with Farmer Roger

I’m falling behind on posting flower photos. Here are several flowers from our cut flower garden.

Phlox blossoms

Phlox bears large clusters of small flowers. You can find varieties of purples, reds, pinks, and whites of this perennial plant. Phlox has a distinct aroma. Most people find it appealing, but some folks find it off-putting. Phlox is often recommended as a butterfly magnet for butterfly gardens.

Rudbeckia flowers

Rudbeckia, often called black-eyed Susan, is a very attractive plant in bloom, bearing many bright yellow daisy-like flowers. This is one perennial plant that does well for us with minimal care, and would be a good choice as a landscaping plant.

Yarrow blossoms

Yarrow is considered a weed by some, and a medicinal plant by some. It forms flat clusters of tiny flowers. We have a pastel variety with a number of different hues. Yarrow flowers last quite a while as cut flowers, and dry well, retaining their color.
