August 9, 2012 -- garden phlox

This just a wee pitcher full of pale pink garden phlox and scented geranium leaves. Both of these are things I snipped off as part of cleaning up part of the garden today. The phlox needed to be cut back to get it to rebloom and the scented geranium was sprawling all over the place. Some of the scented geramium leaves on the stems I cut were fried around the edges, but I pulled them off, leaving just these nice ones.

This smells really good, not just because of the scented geranium leaves, but because of the sweet-smelling phlox.
