The sun sets on the June garden

On By wanderingcatyarns

June may be almost over…. but summer is really heating up. We are smack dab in the middle of a hot, humid stretch.

Almost all the roses have bloomed, but they do prefer things a little bit cooler. They still bloom in the heat, but they go over really quick. I really need to get out there and do some dead-heading.

The daisies have started blooming too.

As has the bee balm

There’s still a few foxgloves left.

Same with the Delphiniums

Interesting – the blue ones on the right were a LOT more blue last year. You can see a touch of it in the bottom flowers.

The lily show is just beginning.

And it’s looking like the Milkweed show will be fabulous too. Good new for the Monarchs!

With a few exceptions, most of the flowers starting to bloom now will bloom right into fall.

Like the Yarrow

And Coneflowers.

And Tickseed.

I’ve got a lot of weeding to do, but the gardens are ready for a sunny July!

    So stunning! All of those gorgeous colors but the daisies have my heart. They were Mom’s favorite flower and I find myself missing her these days.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

    So lovely! I’ve got a lot of weeding to do but I’m not going anywhere in this heat. If I’d had any sense I’d have gone out there yesterday in the rain when it was cool. The heat’s returned and this time it’s brought along its best buddy, humidity.
