A closer view of the plantings around the Arbor with Clematis and the yellow Rose (Rosa 'Julia Child') reblooming in September. The lovely plant at the base of the Arbor is a Variegated Bluebeard (Caryopteris divaricata 'Snow Fairy'), a striking perennial which acts like a shrub and blooms profusely in late summer through early fall with delicate blue flowers. Another late bloomer, a Toad Lily (Tricyrtis 'Blue Wonder'), can be seen directly behind the Bluebeard.
