If you enlarge this picture by clicking on it and look really close behind the flying rabbit you will see a large stand of tagetes lemmonii orCopper Canyon Daisy.
This very fragrant plant is a member of the marigold family, being the tall perennial cousins of the little annuals we normally think of as marigolds. The fragrance is in the foliage and I must admit I'm not that crazy about it but it does seem to deter pests.
This particular plant is over six feet tall, was planted a year ago and is just coming
into its second bloom of the year.
Wow! Those are really awesome - wish they were hardy here.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving Rudbeckia Herbstsonne in my garden the last couple of years. It's a similarly stately plant with yellow blooms, and attracts bees, butterflies, and as it seeds, finches and other birds.
Your blog and garden looks really fantastic! Thanks for your message! //Anna
ReplyDeleteYour garden is lovely. I did not realize that the Copper Canyon daisies got so tall. Nor did I know that they bloom twice a year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment and link to your blog.
