Happy August, floral Friday and welcome to "this week in my Maryland garden!"  The pretty white impatiens flowers are brightening a shady area.

Black eyed Susan in part shade: Copyright © Phyllis Wheeler, 2016

This patch of black eyed Susan flowers blooms even under the shady canopy of several trees. It only gets a little filtered light but I think there are just as many blooms as our other black eyed Susan plants in full sun.

This yellow coreopsis is a volunteer baby of our red coreopsis and thrives in our hottest, full sun flower bed.

This obedient plant is blooming in full sun but we also have some in shady areas that bloom, although not as profusely.

It's fun to have flowers for both shady and sunny areas. Which is your favorite?

Thank you for visiting! May God bless you!
