RE: what's blooming?

Gene, just wanted to let you know that based on your comments I
purchased Geranium Rozanne and have been absolutely thrilled with its
performance in my garden.  It has bloomed all summer long and is still
going strong.  I am just in love with this plant!  So, thanks for
inspiring one of the best garden purchases I have ever made.

Well, Kitty,
    Down here in the sunny southern portion of Indiana the Monkshoods
are 
still going strong. Three different species that ended up blooming at
the 
same time. Whenever they bloom they are most welcome.... one will
probably 
go well into mid to late November in bloom.
Asters still going strong, both the tartan aster and one of its hybrids 
called Lavender Lake. Geranium Rozanne if in full bloom.. has been since

May. Obedient plant is about to finish up for the year. Anemones for
fall 
have just a few scattered blooms remaining. May be gone by this weekend.

Toadlilies are completed now, many have good seed set for the first time
in 
years. Still have a few Gentiana in bloom, but less this year than in
the 
past. Summer was just too hot and dry too long. Forced things into
earlier 
bloom.
    Hardy cyclamen are in full bloom as yet and now the foliage is
joining 
the bloom. I have some nice Christmas Tree pattern foliage on the ivy
leaf 
cyclamen that sure is putting on a nice show. Cyclamen coum are perking 
right along as well.
    Hellebore are kicking into active growth now with new foliage coming
up. 
Bloomstalks are beginning on Hellebore foetidus.
    Still well worth a walk in the garden... in between rain storms
