Here's what I have blooming in my garden on July 15:
Lots of lovely platycodon or balloon flower - all facing my neighbors' yard, as everything in that bed does, oh well.
Lots of daylilies - I'm particularly fond of pinks and dark reds, but I've lost track of cultivar names if I ever knew them.
A pretty, delicate pink astilbe.
Hostas! This is a particularly dramatic one.
The black cohosh I planted a couple of years ago to rise above the collapsing hedge of bleeding hearts - finally flowering. More than one of them would be nice…

My cat Hotspurr, who knows he goes well with coreopsis 'Creme Caramel' and orange cosmos.
Somewhat blurry but bright cosmos closeup.
My photo of 'Bergamo' monarda (storm-battered and on its way out) was too blurry to post, but boy, it's nice to have a bee balm that doesn't get all mildewed in this weather.
