Mexican fleabane + Jethro Tull coreopsis

Love the color combo. Both drought tolerant and I love that the Mexican fleabane reseeds, a wonderful filler plant.

Rose Checkermallow

Sidalcea asprella ssp. virgata aka rose checkermallow, native wildflower that I planted last fall is in bloom and I’m soooo in love. It’s a wonderful native substitute for foxgloves and non native hollyhocks. A host plant for the endangered Willamette Valley ‘Fendler’s Blue’ butterfly. Plant purchased from Symbiop garden center in SE Portland.

Other plants nearby, Spanish lavender, Mexican fleabane, Sphaeralcea ‘Newleaze Coral’.

Saw this on a walk today.

Title says it all. I made a fast detour once I saw this beautiful rose from a distance. Don’t know the name, maybe David Austin’s Lady of Shallot? Chime in if you know…..

Mislabeled rose…

This was supposed to be DA’s Poets Wife rose which has rich yellow flowers. Clearly, it’s not what I got. ☹️ Anyone have ideas what this rose is?
