Yup, our common Coreopsis can be considered "native." It's natural range is actually a bit to the south (Maryland) but with a warming climate, Connecticut is probably pretty close to its adjusted range.
The Ox Eye (Heliopsis) or False Sunflower is lush and just getting started.
Here's a real favorite: Butterfly Weed. Last year it was pretty spindly, but is looking good this year. This is one that pops up occasionally in hayfields.
The Wild Blue Lupine is at it's peak.
Giallardia (Blanket Flower) is more of a midwestern plant, but looks great. I think this one went to seed last year, as we have a few seedlings.
The Milkweed is also doing better this year.
Weed me! Yes, there's lots to do at the garden. This Maidenhair Fern is competing with a nice crop of weeds.
