(also known as Bugbane, for those who aren’t southern New Englanders!) Doing its thing, looking good even when it has fallen over in a somewhat untidy spot. It could, of course, be standing up at about seven feet tall, but it is equally happy to snake about going where the wind and sun demand; hence, I think, its name. The bumblebees adore it, their whole attitude is that they can’t quite believe their good fortune: that fast, almost frantic shift from one little flower to the next. You’ll find four or five bees at anytime on every spike.

Firmly ignoring the nonsense of the world, high drama in the garden!
Left to right: Black snakeroot*, hybrid lilies, ostrich plume astilbes, and garden phlox. The snakeroot is hitting seven feet this year.
*Better known as Black cohosh, Bugbane, or cimicifuga racemosa, snakeroot is the Connecticut term for it.

David Austin’s ‘A Shropshire Lad’ in its first year! It seems to be standing up to this rain rather well too. Furthermore, it was slid into its spot right next to the short/shrub clematis that is also blooming on that pillar. I am rather pleased with that planting job, since the clematis was already there, and both plants needed to be close to the pillar’s south side.
I honestly don’t know the identity of the clematis….
