Penstemon and Dianthus

No new puppy pictures today because my camera is out of commission. There's no doubt about it tho--the world is a better place when you have a dog. And in this case, even better when you have two. A little penstemon at this time of year helps too. This one is called Chablis. I just found out that penstemon is also beardstongue. Didn't know that. There's another form of it towards the back right in this shot. I'll try to get pictures of both blooming after my camera has been resupplied.
