A lesson in patience - or negligence

This must have been a discount table plant when I bought it several years ago.  It took its time establishing itself - appearing in Spring the last two years but just "sitting there" so to speak all through the summer.  Not growing, not blooming.  But today, on my daily after work stroll through the garden, I saw this!

Lamiastrum, Hermann's Pride, Yellow Archangel

Another lesson in patience - or negligence - on my part.  I have several other plants in my garden that took at little time getting established.  This pin cushion flower is another one.

It now blooms all summer and into the fall.  It's blooms are wonderful in small bouquets and I love the color.
