What's blooming in the garden on the 15th of the month
I wanted to wait until dark when the moonflowers open before taking the last shots for this July. These are some of the blooms at this time of year.
Datura arrayed along the entry to the house where I enjoy the intoxicating fragrance every summer evening. They reseed themselves every year.
Rudbeckia hita native loves the sun. They last about two years, but easily reseed.
Rudbeckia laciniata picked up at a plant swap, it grows 6 feet (2 m) tall and easily falls over. Thanks to Janet, Queen of Seaford in identifying for me.
I thought a closeup of the balloon flower would be interesting. Platycodon grandiflorus reseeds but they're difficult to move because of their deep tap root.
Phlox paniculata 'Jeana' giveaway at the Washington DC Garden Bloggers Fling. Pollinators love it as much as I do.
When echinacea purpurea is planted in part shade, it gows 5 feet tall (1.5 m).
Echinops ritro is about ready to bloom and inviting all the bumbles to it.Will it go round in circles? Watch bees on coneflowers go around the ring of pollen on the flower.
