Dear Alex,
I'd appreciate it if you could let me know the names of the plants below. Thanks for always being so helpful.

gooseneck loosestrife (
Lysimachia clethroides) - great plant but extremely aggressive (in my opinion truly invasive!) so I always warn the home gardener against this one. For the older, longer arborboy post about Lysimachia clethroides

perennial geranium (
Geranium ...?) - not sure which specific cultivar this is, but we can try and figure that out when we see each other next.

Prichard's Variety bellflower (
Campanula lactiflora 'Prichard's Variety') - great plant, relatively new to me, but growing on me quickly. The foliage on the right side of the photo (more rounded in shape) is the neighboring meadow rue (
Thalictrum).

thread-leaf blue star or Arkansas ble star (
Amsonia hubrichtii) - LOVE this plant! Full sun, pretty little spring flowers but the golden fall color - fahgettaboutit!

maiden grass (
Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus') - probably one of the more popular ornamental grasses out there in the trade. Some states consider it invasive but for us I have to admit I've never had real issues with it.
Great photos Andrea - thanks for sharing!
