Joe Pye Weed (native!)

I planted my two Joe Pye Weeds on the West of the house (note the delightful backdrop created by my aluminum siding - almost as delightful as the chain link fence behind the blueberries) amongst some cat mint and phlox (also native) and salvia.
I made a solemn vow to never plant fewer than three of the same plant ever again, but then I broke that vow because the nursery only had two Joe Pye Weeds left and they were half off and I have been wanting them and wanting them. Clearly, my back was against a wall and vows had to be broken. It's comforting to have tested my mettle and found that I am not hampered by resolutions at inopportune times.
