Blooming Friday ~ In Remembrance

This post is in remembrance of last year's summer and fall wildflowers, and a continuation of my very late Wildflower Wednesday contribution.

Spiderworts start blooming in April and continue on and off until cold cuts them down.

A few years ago I put a tiny start of primrose next to the vegetable garden. It didn't do anything at first and I forgot about it until it bloomed in late spring and early summer this year. Pink primrose is a native of the bread basket of our country but likes it very well here too, a little too well some might say, but it may be just the thing for the Zone of Death next to the front sidewalk.

Is it possible to have too many Purple Coneflowers? They look splendid

in each other's company

and with Phlox paniculata 'Robert Poore'.

Another native of our prairie states is Prairie Rose, Rosa
setigera. It makes a gorgeous show of pink in June.

Monarda 'Raspberry Wine'

Bidens create oceans of sunshiny golden yellow in September.

In fall it's time for the asters.

Aromatic Aster blooms in October

while willow leaf aster 'Miss Bessie' is the last aster to bloom, usually starting around Halloween and blooming for a month.
