Garden Blogger’s Bloom Day – June 2010

Yay! Here are a few pics I snapped for the very first Garden Blogger’s Bloom Day being celebrated at this address. We were out of town for the weekend, but that didn’t stop the Lot. We were treated to some new arrivals upon our return.

Also blooming this month and not pictured are the Lamb’s Ear, multiple roses, Camelot Lavender Foxglove, Chocolate Chip Bugleweed, Husker Red Beardtongue, Edelweiss, a shorter golden daylily, spiderwort, Arctic Glow Globe Thistle and Mystica Beardtongue. I just learned from the Bloom Day post at May Dreams Gardens that the common lily blooming along the west side of our house right now is a “ditch lilly” or Hemerocallis fulva.

For my own notes, the Moonbeam and Tequila Sunrise Coreopsis have a blossom or two. So does the White/Dark Bee Delphinium and the Purple Knockout Salvia. Just getting ready to open are both the Bridal Veil and Key West Astilbe. I just deadheaded the Jupiter’s Beard last night and the Valerian this evening, so we’ll see if they will have another round of blooms.

    1. Thank you! I love the color as well. When we moved in, we found these bulbs abandoned in a bare, dirt-filled pot on the front porch. They were relocated to a bed, tucked in and still bloomed that year.

    1. Thank you for the response! I tucked the little Clematis into a newly prepped bed at the base of the pergola leg this past weekend. On your advice, I’ve attached a strip of chicken wire to the post for it to climb up. Can’t wait until the plant is as big and beautiful as yours. Maybe next June’s Bloom Day? ^_^
