What's blooming in the garden on the 15th of the month
There is a lot going on in the garden at this time of year. Most of these are perennials that have been featured in past years, but I will try to add a few comments and use closeups for this year's photos.
After receiving them from a Master Gardener plant swap three years ago, these bloomed well for the first time this year. A little research turned up that they are 'beach-head iris", found along the eastern coastal areas. They do best in part shade here.
Hydrangea 'Incrediball' is looking as good as ever, but just wait until the next heavy rain or wind. Half will be bowing to the ground.
A type of Opuntia -- Prickly Pear Cactus.
Unknown hosta that seeded itself three years ago.
Closeup of St. John's Wort 'Brigadoon'. This cultivar has beautiful lime green leaves when they start out.
Unknown daylily cultivar. This will bloom again off and on during the summer.
Purple coneflowers have just started.For other garden bloggers' bloom day photos, spring over to the blog May Dreams Gardens
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the cactus! Though I don't grow them, a neighbor does. Thanks for the reminder to check with her to see if she has blooms.
Have a blessed day!
thanks for visiting my blog... hostas... omg, I am dreaming of hostas! and I do know all about zone-envy ;-) I would think you can grow the spider lilies in a pot and overwinter the bulbs just like any other bulbs such as amaryllis, caladium, no?
ReplyDeleteHosta reseeds itself? Really? I have never heard of that nor has it happened in my garden. It makes sense since they have blooms...learn something new every day!

That hydrangea really is 'Incrediball.' Well named. Your garden is looking good here at the (almost) beginning of actual summer.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many beautiful blooms in your garden. I am especially enjoying the hydrangea and coneflower blooms since we have about another week or so before they open their buds here. I really like the Hydrangea 'Incrediball'-fabulous!
ReplyDeleteBlooms in Incrediball have mostly fallen over after a rain and they held the water. I really need to support them next year.
