A Purple Wave

With the Bearded Iris still blooming and the Salvia, Japanese Iris and Catmint coming on, there is a purple wave happening right now in the garden.  It is one of my most favorite times.  They don't mind this horrible heat and dry conditions either. but then again I don't plant any prima donnas.  It is such a pretty time in the garden, be prepared for a lot more garden close-ups in the coming days!
