The garden says good bye to June

June is almost over… let’s see what’s in bloom this week….

The Amazing Grey Poppy has finally bloomed… and wow… this one was totally worth the wait. All the annual poppies I started from seed have been amzing but this is definitely my favourite!

I will definitely be out there in February, spreading more poppy seeds!

More day lilies are starting to open. I have, at least a dozen (and probably more) varieties, so there’s lots more to follow thees ones.

I’ve got two types of Bee Balm blooming – a short, bright pink hybrid, and a tall native red. They are just so crazy looking – I love them. I have three other Bee Balms still to bloom.

Next up are False Sunflower, Shasta Daisies, and Black Eyed Susans. It feels a bit early for the Susans… but well nature is going to do what it wants. As long as I dead head them I can probably keep them blooming until fall.

All the sedums on the driveway garden are blooming. They are pretty enough without the flowers, but when they do bloom, it’s quite the show.

The coneflowers are starting to do their thing too – with many more colours and styles to come.

There’s no doubt about it – summer is off to a fabulous, floriferous start!
