WOW - Butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa) everywhere is big and orange and beautiful. Most of these plants are slow to show their foliage in spring, (mine didn't show until after the hostas even), but as soon as we got heat, they went crazy. I love this plant. It is stunning, loves heat, and is not very demanding.
Daylilies (Hemorocallis), all kinds are showing off, especially the old fashioned orange and the tall yellows. Stella d'Oro, a reliable repeat bloomer, is around on many a development corner, and look nice in small bunches in corner gardens too.
Hydrangeas are really lovely this week. I have seen all colors, but my favorite is a warm pink in an old old homestead in Woodbine.
Lots more perennials blooming are: Coneflowers, Echinaceas and Rudbeckia; Magnolias, Southern and Sweet Bay are looking good and smelling nice too; Garden Phlox; and Knockout Roses.
