What's blooming in the garden on the 15th of the month.
After a bust of springtime, and a lull last month, things are a poppin' in the garden again this June! My Red Hot Poker bloomed for the first time, after planting from seed three years ago. Nice reward for three years of work. The Coconut Lime Echinacea just started, and is a new plant this year. As usual, click if you want to see them close up.

ReplyDelete(Not so big on red hot poker, though. Yours looks healthy, though!)
Happy Bloom Day!
Lovely blooms. Love the bird sounds.
ReplyDeleteHey folks, thanks for the compliments!!!
ReplyDeleteKatie...
I like the unusual, hence the red hot poker, although, I was surprised at how big it gets. Got to try for a smaller variety next year, and find a place for this monster.

You are the first person to comment on the background birds, and I am glad you appreciate them.
Happy Bloom Day.
I like that last lily. Everytime I think I am buying a creamy peach daylily I end up with something that looks NOTHING like the tag/description!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying nicotiana from seed this year. So far I have about 25 plants. They are far from blooming, but they still have plenty of time.
Sylvana,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the nicotiana seeds. My two types (lime/green, and white) think they are perennials. They re-seed themselves every year and come back in the spring. Some of the white variety actually overwinter here in zone 7.
Hydrangeas are great for those large panicles. It's always a bonus when Hosta send up their flowers, over their gorgeous leaves. You are fortunate to have the Nicotiana reseed themselves, or even overwinter. That saves a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteLove that lime coconut echinacea. I have an azalea that has white flowers with green centers - inherited it with the house and I don't know what its name is. I really like the white/green combo, though. Congratulations re: the kniphofia.
ReplyDeletei Love this idea. What a great way to keep track of the garden. I may/ will steal it. Thanx
