| Lisianthus |
Some lovely plants are in bloom today although my garden is in a transitory state at the moment - much of the lush gorgeous June blooms have faded but the next set of deep summer blooms have yet to appear.
Having said that, please take a look at some the pretty ones that are showing off today:
The Oak Leaf Hydrangea at the front door is in full bloom
Climbing rose 'New Dawn' is producing abundant blooms
New red shrub rose is blooming nicely in light shade
The white shrub rose by the deck has its lovely apricot buds and white blossoms
Chinese Astilbe has deep fuchsia flowers that appear "fuzzy"
A number of snowball hydrangeas are in bloom
The daylilies are scrumptious!! All kinds of gorgeous hues and colours.
Most of my hostas, small and large, are in bloom. One is fabulously fragrant.
This delightful dainty Clematis is still clambouring all through the pussywillow branches
The first Rudbeckias opened today - good timing!
Daisies are everywhere
I know it's a weed but Harebell looks great in most of the borders where it's self seeded itself.
'The Fairy' never disappoints and this year it's just gone wild.
A few lilies have made an appearance but are floppy and needed staking.
Last but not least, the white Lisianthus (Prairie Rose) from the local Farmer's Market are in bloom. Soon the deep purple/blue ones will be as well.
