After an abundant June in the garden, with a symphony of colors and scents, and plenty of blooms to pick – peonies, lupine, iris and delphiniums – the garden is experiencing a dip in productivity, as am I. The Shasta daisies and echinacea are the only flowers going strong right now, attracting some of the most gorgeous butterflies I have ever seen. Some as big as the palm of my hand. The limelight hydrangeas have been rather shy bloomers this year and are taking their time forming their frothy panicles. Just when I thought my hydrangea luck had turned.
