I was back to work after a couple of weeks off and things went pretty well. I still have a little energy left so I decided to grab my camera and take my Monday stroll around our garden. What will I find for a "Bloomin Tuesday" post. As usual, I was surprised by how many new flowers I found.
Liatris spicata or Gay Feather in the back garden
Coreopsis (I think its moonbeam)
Campanula rotundifola olympica
Shasta Daisies (short version)
Hydrangea (small compact plant with white flowers)
Hostas near the front deck
Perennial Phlox
Closer view of the phlox. I planted two plants last summer so these are my first blossoms.
Whorled Sage and our cat Lily
Salvia verticillata "Purple Rain"
She has been following me around so I let her sneak into the picture.
Astrantia or Masterwort
This is one of my very favorite plants, it grows in the shade of a Japanese Maple near our back porch
I always enjoy strolling through my garden to see what's bloomin. I hope you enjoyed your visit too.
I will be linking to Bloomin Tuesday at MsGreenThumbJean's
Go take a look at what's Bloomin'
Hi Sherry,
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've visited your blog before. It sure is pretty. I love your blooms! I counted 6 that I also grow, and 2 more of them, I grow a different variety of. That last one, is the only one I've never grown. It sure is loaded with blooms!
Hi Sherry... LOVE the flowers! that last one is unfamiliar to me, but it's gorgeous. I love your cat Lily sneaking into the shot; she's a diva!
ReplyDeleteLove your phlox, too. Mine is pink, and is not doing well this year; don't know if it's the heat but I suspect it might be.
Our hydrangea bushes are FULL of bloom, though.
Yay.
Thanks for sharing!

I love that you know all the names for your flowers. This helps me know what I will look for, when I get around to choosing flowers for my yard. I'm taking it all in, and your garden is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have quite a few bloomers for July..very nice.
ReplyDeleteSo many new bloomers! Don't you just love liatris? Mine is just beginning, too. I loved the walk thru your garden.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to grow 'Shasta's' for a long time, they just don't like my soil?
ReplyDeleteLily is happy strolling through your pretty garden..
I'm a newbie here.. very nice!

Thanks for taking that stroll and showing us your beautiful blooms today. I love that Masterwort, such an interesting plant. :)
ReplyDeleteLily certainly fits perfectly in your garden with all the other flowers. Your blooms are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are absolutely gorgeous. I wish we had a place to plant our own garden, but for the time being, I have to be satisfied with pots of plants which are doing quite well this year. I wanted to thank you for visiting my studio at Amanda's Baskets and for leaving your lovely comments.
ReplyDeleteLove the color of your phlox! I have a couple Masterwort but they aren't as full as yours. The hydrangea is interesting. Love it! Jean

What a pretty garden Sherry!! I'm so new to the gardening arena and know so very little. I truly value posts like yours that help me to see the "real" appearance of plants that I read about in the gardening books. Thank you so much!
