The cut-flower bed's perennials are nearing maturity.
The planting area has filled-in nicely and will require extensive thinning in the Fall.
(plenty of iris to trade/give away)
A crepe myrtle (Acoma, semi-dwarf) was planted in the middle area of the bed a few weeks ago.
This will provide some fast-growing height and structure.

Elsewhere: an autumn fern has been established
under the canopy of the burning bushes
and, under the most dense part,
(very shaded -had to utilize a flash)
-a sprig of irish moss (Sagina subulata 'Aurea') is being tested
...hopefully, it will find the conditions to its liking,
and thrive & multiply!
(a few more sprigs will be added next Spring if all goes well)
