yard plants- in flower

I walk across the yard just to look at the 'little kim' hibiscus. It's like pale blushing crepe paper.
The other one has bolder color, not as pretty form (and this one particular flower is a bit ragged).
My sedums are lovely too, in a different way- these on the smaller sideyard are quite green still
while those further down the slope flanking the hydrangea have more bluish leaves, and reddish stems. Not sure if it's just from the difference in sun exposure, or are they different varieties. (The green ones I bought from the nursery, the reddish/blue were a gift from my mother-in-law).
First turtlehead bloom!
Joe pye weed going crazy with flowers, but the midnight salvia I moved (just in front of the stump) looks dead.
