The Infinity Garden is where I have many of my medicinal herbs growing.
Shasta Daisy 'Crazy Daisy' next to Catmint 'Walkers Low'.
Each of the petals of Bee Balm is actually tubular and filled with yumminess. The butterflies and hummingbirds are crazy for bee balm. The bees especially love it, hence the name.
Bartlett's Bee Balm and yellow yarrow.
Bee Balm is an herb as well as an ornamental plant. The young leaves and flowers can be dried and made into a tea that will ease respiratory problems, colds, and fevers. 
These are Indian Spring Hollyhocks. Hollyhocks are the quintessential old-fashioned flower. I wish I could find one that was resistant to rust. What a nuisance. I have Powderpuff Hollyhocks growing in the long border. Hollyhocks reseed readily, and next year I hope to have lots of volunteers springing up all over the place.
Hot!
This is cantaloupe growing along the fence outside of the Vegetable Garden. It gets a bit of run-off water from the sprinklers here, but it doesn't get water on the leaves every day (which will cause powdery mildew). Cantaloupe wants to climb up the fence. And that's fine as long as you support the fruit. Placing the fruit inside a woman's stocking will work fine to support the weight of the fruit and still allow sun to shine on the fruit. 
My corn: as high as an elephant's eye.
A true blue flower. Spiderwort grows tall and has a tendency to flop over. They are good growing up through a rose shrub or something tall so that the tall companion plant can help prop it up. It dies back in the winter. The foliage is grey-blue.
St. John's Wort is a beautiful shrub to have in a medicinal garden. It is one of the showiest flowering herbs. My St. John's Wort shrubs are landscape varieties rather than the true medicinal herb. They are about three feet tall. They have a heavy spring flush of blooms and then bloom sporadically after that. They are evergreen. 
Parsley is one of the larval foods of the Swallowtail butterflies. I have five parsley plants growing in my Long Border so that I can attract these beautiful larvae and the butterflies into which they ultimately grow. I also grow dill - they love that too. And the green tops of carrots are a favorite. Many larvae are particular - they only have a few plants on which they will feast. The Swallowtails are no exception. 
This rose is considered a pillar rose; I do not have mine growing as a pillar, however. Of all the Noisettes, this one has the most "shrub-like" shape. The smell of this rose is considered to be one of the most wonderful smelling roses ever. I find it to be a bit sickly-sweet. 
Hollyhocks are so pretty, but their tendency to develop rust is very annoying. It takes a lot of conscientious spraying here in Texas (I don't know if rust is associated with humidity or rust is common everywhere) to avoid the ugly problem. But I love the old fashioned flowers, and hollyhocks certainly fit into that category.
Gorgeous and wonderfully scented gardenias. I love them. They need lots of iron to stay healthy! 
You have to be a pretty easy going gardener to put up with this! There are three caterpillars on this cabbage that can be seen in the picture. There are several on the undersides of the leaves. I am growing this cabbage as a larval food source for the "Whites" The Whites include the Checkered White, the Cabbage White, and the Great Southern White. None of the larvae on this cabbage are in the White family, but nature has a way of telling you what it wants to do rather than the reverse. Hopefully I'll get some Whites before these little fellows eat the entire cabbage.
Easy Ned Daylilies loaded with buds.
I like Easy Ned because the flowers have a different shape than most daylilies.
Easy Ned flower with several insects on it. I let insects live. So many of them serve a good purpose. Why spray?
A close-up of the flowers.
You can see how Sea Star Sedum got its name. How charming! The flowers are shaped just like sea stars.
This is a picture of Sea Star Sedum before it bloomed. I think it is a fascinating little ground cover whether in bloom or not in bloom.
This is called Silver Frost sedum. It blooms white flowers.
Mexican Sedum is blooming right now. The color of the flowers is yellow, they stand above the plant about 6 inches high. The color of the leaves is chartreuse, so that is a nice punch for the garden when it is not in bloom.
Heritage rose was introduced by David Austin in 1983. This flower shape is known as a "cup and saucer". This is one of the three best smelling roses I have in my collection. The other two are the Star of the Republic and Chrysler Imperial. All three roses have scents that you cannot forget. 
Cedar Sage can take some shade, but I believe that it needs sun in order for it to bloom well. As the name suggests, this Texas native is often found under cedar trees. I have mine planted under a cedar tree amongst some coreopsis. 
The flowers of Sarah's Eve Sweetspire are a little bit more prominent than the flowers of Morningstar.
This is a Sarah's Eve Sweetspire. I planted it this last winter.
This is a close-up of a Morningstar Sweetspire flower.
This is Morningstar Sweetspire that I planted about three years ago.
I have Johnny Jump Ups growing in my Vegetable Garden. They surround some carrots I have growing in a raised box. They are easy to grow from seed and such cheerful little flowers. The flowers are edible which makes them a perfect plant to grow in the Vegetable Garden. Pretty and edible.
Mexican Feather Grass is in the foreground of this picture.
