Prairie phlox (P. pilosa), or as Gail from Clay and Limestone refers to them, Practically Perfect Pink Phlox.
Unknown pollinator on a sand coreopsis (C. lanceolata).
Peonies before rain damage...they're still OK now but looking a little worse for the wear after some intense rainstorms recently.
'Moonshine' yarrows are day-glow yellow.
Sand coreopsis, salvia and a peony.

The peonies did look really good this year until that one rain. Fortunately, I have one peony that is a late bloomer that missed the worst of it. Doesn't that little phlox smell divine?
Beautiful blooms. The Peonies are lovely and I do love that Peony, Salvia and Coreopsis combination.
I found you through GBBD, and have been exploring your blog- what great material! I'm just about inspired to dig a big rain garden.
Very nice peonies. My mom loved them. Great blog. Happy GBBD!
Your peonies are beautiful, Rose! And I love the prairie phlox, too; I'm hoping it spreads even more in my garden next year.
You asked about my 'Husker Red' penstemons, or at least I think that's the cultivar I have. They are growing in my butterfly garden which is a free-for-all of mostly native plants. I enjoy watching the butterflies there and am constantly surprised by what blooms, since there are so many re-seeders. But I do very little maintenance in that area which is in full sun and generally rather dry. So 'Husker Red' is definitely one tough plant and easy to grow--you'll love it!
June is a great month for gardeners, isn't it! Love that Phlox...so cute and charming!
So many garden blogs posting pictures of Peonies - obviously its their time to shine. Yours look great to me. Happy GBBD.
Beautiful blooms Rose! I LOVE your white peony.
Right now my peonies and my roses are drenched, but I am hoping we have 24 dry hours before the Garden Tour - tomorrow!
