Garden Bloggers Bloom Day-June, 2008

I do have a few newly blooming flowers that I haven't shown and a couple that I have posted, but thought were worth seeing again. I was worried that I wouldn't, but the rain and then the hot sun made them pop just in time.

Yellow Asiatic lily-name unknown. In fact, these and a few others spread around the gardens are DIPT ones that showed up about 5 years ago.

These I did plant and are called Apple Blossom.


My cherry tomatoes, 'Gartenperle', are compliments of Cheryl. I've never grown English tomatoes before.

An annual, 'Penstemon', Phoenix Appleblosson. I am hoping the bees and the hummingbirds will especially like this one.

Of course, I had to show this root stock rose again. It has been in full bloom for 2 weeks! It is definitely staying.


Martha Stewart Heritage has had more beautifully perfect blooms.


One last lone iris. Name unknown and is it just me or does it look a little deformed?



Some of the wild flowers I started indoors. I have them in several spots in the gardens and they are so delicate looking. I am going to try to save some of the seeds to plant again next year.


And finally, false sunflower-I think. I bought one small plant years ago before I knew to keep plant tags. It spread, and spread and then spread some more. I have been trying to get rid of it, but every year it pops up in new places.
Hope you have a lovely Garden Bloggers Bloom Day!
