Some pinks and storm damage

We had a fierce storm last week. We were not home to experience it, but this is some of the hail damage to the banana:



Thank you Caleb and Ethan for these beautiful dianthus you gave me last year. They look great in front of the canna!



Rose Campion is doing it's thing:



And we saw this on the Beacon Zero Waste Garden Tour yesterday. The gardener said it was a philopea, but that can't be it, since I tried to google that and I find nothing...



Ideas anyone?

Rainy, humid update

Blech. Humid and grey. Not the best day to be in the garden for me, but the bugs sure seem to be enjoying it. Some new things blooming:

Rudbeckia - I planted these a few years ago, the second year they were gone, I thought oh, well but no, now they come back each year, in different spots, so I guess they are reseeding themselves.



White Astilbe is looking good. The pink is hidden under the hydrangea and daylilies, I need to mark it somehow so I can move it come fall.



These pink lilies are doing their thing quite nicely:



And here's a colorful wide shot of hydrangea, daylilies, yarrow and rose campion:
