Blooms for Friday

July 15, 2011

Happy Friday everyone. 

I was away for about five days, and found a few more things blooming when I got back. It's amazing to see how much things can change in our gardens after only that much time. The shasta daisies are getting into the full swing of summer, as are the rose campions. 

My back border is full of buds on the daylilies.  And I can look forward to the perennial phlox in the weeks to come. 

Here's what's going on today:



Leucanthemum x superbum 'Snowdrift'
double shasta daisies beside 'Neon Blaze' spirea
allium just starting to open
side border with white rose campion lychnis
in foreground
little back steps garden with
magenta rose campion lychnis
Hemerocallis 'Stella d'Oro' daylily
Leucanthemum x superbum 'Snow Lady'
dwarf shasta daisy
back border with lots of green
There are links to wonderful garden blogs at May Dreams Gardens. It's fun to see what other gardeners have blooming on the 15th of each month. I'm also linking up with Tootsie over at Fertilizer Friday today.

  7. The shasta daisies look so refreshing. I've never had them but you have inspired me to find a place for them...somewhere in my garden! My daylilies are finished but it's nice to visit yours. Happy Bloom Day!

  9. All so lovely. I like that you put in little name tags for your garden. I should do that as there are a couple plants that I don't remember the names of though I know what kind of plant they are. It would be nice to know the names though.

  14. Diane, I love that shasta daisy-spirea combination. Whenever I'm away for a few days, I always rush around as soon as I get home to see what's in bloom. Isn't this a wonderful time, when there is so much happening in the garden and so much more still to come? -Jean

Comments are always welcome!

If you have a question, I'll respond on your own blog, if you leave me the link! I'll also answer questions here (in case anyone else is interested).

I had to start 'moderating' the comments because I was getting so much spam, so if you notice your comment doesn't show up right away, that is why.

Happy Gardening!
