August Macro

The Asteracea or Daisy family are the starts of the garden at this time of year, and the yellow Rudbekia Goldsturm positively sing in the garden. Their central almost black cones make a fabulous contrast to the yellow petals. The bees and flies love them too.

 Aster Frikartii Monch with it's yellow centre  is the perfect partner for the Rudbekia
Small or possibly Large White Butterfly enjoying the nectar from Verbena Bonariensis. Not the Asteracea group, but a fabulous plant
which has been in flower since June and still going strong. 
Astrantia Major back in flower after being cut down mid July.
