If you want to seem more go to her blog and you will see gorgeous blooms from all over the country and other countries as well.If you want to participate just post your blooms and then go to her site and leave a comment on the 15th of each month. Today I want to start off showing you one of the dark burgandy lilies in the garden. It has some blooming sedum at its feet.
Not far from the lilies we have some Eremrus or as I like to call them Foxtail Lilies that are about to finish their display. They are such a striking addition to the garden. They make quite a statement then fade away to nothing letting me forget them until next spring.
One of my favorite daylilies are blooming. I don'tknow the name of this one but it blooms again in fall so I really appreciate its hard work while looking beautiful.
Ihave some astilbe that I have had so long and moved so many times that I don't have a clue as to what it's name is. I remember that I had a fanal at one time but who knows? I sure don't. It really likes this spot. I have moved it becasue it wouldn't bloom most other places. Here it gets lovely dark foilage and it blooms which is always a bonus.
This Dutch Honeysuckle is blooming up a storm. The bumble bees really like this as well as the hummingbirds.
The Jackmanni clematis is blooming up a storm. It has really grown tall this year. I guess all the rain this spring has helped it along.
St Fiacre is still tending the Tradescantia 'Sweet Kate'. The tag said that it would attract butterflies. Harumph. I have seen none on this even though I like the pretty chartruese foilage. I hope it soon does as the tag suggests. I would at least like to see bees on it but nothing so far.
One of my favorites of summer is the Datura. It has its first bloom. It has several buds but this is the first one open. I just love how rich and tropical these beauties appear. The moths they attract are amazing. I hope to see them soon too. Maybe when there are several blooming at once I will get a picture.
This wraps up what I can show you as I have misplaced my camera. Geez. I think I left it at work. I took pictures of the clown parade at work today and must have set my camera down in the shop someplace. The other blooms I can think of are daisies, another tall lily and several other day lilies. Maybe next time I can show you more...
