Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day: June 15, 2012
June 15, 2012
I didn't post for May's Bloom Day because I was in Asheville for the last Bloom Day - my how this month has flown by!
With the early start to spring, I thought that the flowers might be getting sparser by mid-June, but that hasn't happened.
For more Bloom Day posts from all over, check out the June Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day at May Dreams Gardens.
Here's what's blooming in our yard:
A balloon flower that escaped from the flower bed.
Purple coneflower and a tomasid spider (crab spider)
A kind of malva (the tag is buried)
Sage
Yellow coreopsis and double daisies
Nasturiums, marigolds, and petunias
The leopard's bane is still blooming!
Well-behaved balloon flowers in the flower bed
We redid the pots on the deck two weeks ago. We replaced the 20 year old dingy grey pots with some new colorful ones.
A lovely cottage-y collection. Your potplant collection looks pretty as a picture on the deck. I think I have the same sage, but I also love your rudbeckia or the coneflower. I think I have seeds for the latter, so fingers crossed - next season!

What a beautiful range of flowers! Those balloon flowers do spread themselves around, don't they?

Beautiful! I didn't even know that daisies came in doubles.

My lemon daylily is blooming now too, but the rest of your flowers are way ahead of mine. I like your rooster, and all the colorful flowers.

Oh, I love your lilies gone wild! They're fantastic! I don't have any lilies really going yet, we're still on foxgloves here.
