What's blooming in the garden on the 15th of the month
Not too much variety in the garden at this date, but lots of iris. A nip of cold
weather showed up earier this week, and then bam! 85 degrees (30 degrees C)
today.
Siberian Iris seems to multiply more and more each year.
Unknown bearded iris but believe it may be 'Fantasyland'.
White nicotiana comes back every year from self-seeding.
Geranium sanguineum makes a nice ground cover.
Kalmia latifolia 'Sarah' was listed as the 'reddest of the reds' mountain laurel in the catalog.
One of my favorite iris, 'Clarence'.
Finally, another result of my bearded iris cross-breeding [posted 2019.05.14] that bloomed for the first time this year. A cross between the Fantasyland and Frank Adams. When the sun hits it, the golden yellow in the base of the petals light up the bright yellow fuzz.

Kalmia latifolia is such an pretty plant .It feels buds are more beautiful then actual blooms .Irises are so beautiful .
ReplyDeleteThat Kalmia is a stunner! I love the white nicotiana and I've planted it every year since discovering it. It doesn't come back for me though.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but the red kalmia looks deeper and redder this year. It must be that sun and warm weather (something we have not had in abundance this spring) lightens the color. I looked back on old photos and saw the flowers as more pink.
