We had quite a rain last night, and a lot of blooms got beaten down. Not great for photos, but oh so good for the plants.
Cut leaf chaste tree, a favorite with the bees. Got it in a quart size pot a few years ago, and now it's about 8 ft tall and wide; this version is much airier and more delicate-looking than the more traditional version most people have around town.
Texas and Mexican sage in the foreground, chaste tree in the back. The tall skinny guy is standing cypress (this one's over 6 ft). You can also see a hint of autumn sage and coreopsis.

This is so nice to see everyone's blooms in different areas.
Diamond frost euphorbia is a favourite annual of mine - such airy and dainty flowers.
Cool standing cypress - I need more plants in that shape - it's lovely!
As soon as I saw the chaste tree, I guessed you were in Austin, and I was right! Thanks for joining in for bloom day.
I like your Chaste tree, it is more delicate and airy looking then their cousins that I see growing around here.
