Welcome to Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for August 2016.

Just concluding week, hither inwards USDA Hardizone Zone 6a garden inwards fundamental Indiana, I idea my bloom twenty-four hr catamenia transportation would endure total of  my whining close how dry out it was.

Was dry.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lovely thunderstorm rolled through concluding Midweek leaving behind over 2 inches of rain. I was pleased as well as idea how lovely as well as refreshed the garden looked. No to a greater extent than dry, brittle leaves. No to a greater extent than dusty flowers. No to a greater extent than plants drooping inwards the garden past times noon.

Then this weekend, nosotros got to a greater extent than rain, over iii inches past times mid-morning Lord's Day as well as it is even so coming down.

I had the brief sane idea of waiting for the pelting to piece of occupation past times on through earlier going out to receive got bloom twenty-four hr catamenia pics, but that idea passed speedily when I saw the forecast for the adjacent several days.

So I institute a pelting coat deep within a dorsum closet, threw it on as well as headed out to encounter what's blooming inwards the rain.

Turns out, at that topographic point is quite a chip blooming, fifty-fifty inwards the rain.

I receive got a twain of white lilies blooming. There are some inwards several spots inwards Plopper's Field, so I assume I bought bulbs for them.


This is what moisture tall phlox, Phlox paniculata, looks like, growing along side fake sunflowers, Heliopsis helianthoides.

This is to a greater extent than moisture tall phlox, inwards purple.

The sunflowers, Helianthus annuus 'Heirloom Titan', grown from seeds I got from Renee's Garden,  look a little a lot drippy. It's morning time inwards this picture, so they are facing east, no incertitude wondering where the Sun is. When the pelting stops, I intend to larn a ladder as well as a record stair out as well as honour out how tall they actually are. My best justice is 10 feet. I should start a betting pool. What's your guess?

This is definitely the summertime of zinnias. I receive got them growing all along the dorsum side of the veg garden.  I'll endure growing them 1 time again adjacent year, which is no surprise. I grow them every year.

Oh my, this is a type of black-eyed susan... it is... give me a infinitesimal to think of it... I know... it's Rudbeckia subtomentosa 'Henry Eilers'! Not a smashing picture, but did I cite the rain?

Will you lot expect at this hydrangea loaded amongst blooms?  Ignore that weedy expanse to a greater extent than or less it, many of those  "weeds" are violets,  focus on the blooms.  This 1 is Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight'.


I think this hosta is pretty. It has a night scarlet stalk as well as I purchased it from Soules Garden. There is a tag nether at that topographic point which I could expect at to say you lot but which 1 it is, but did I cite the rain?

Here's some other hosta, a white blooming passalong works life I but telephone telephone " Grandma's August Lily" because it is but similar the ones I retrieve growing along the northside of my grandma's house. It is surounded past times some surprise lilies, Lycoris squamigera.

And look, but to remind us that autumn is coming, the toad lilies, Tricyrtis sp. are but foremost to bloom.

My apologies to those who alive inwards areas suffering from drought or those who alive where it is naturally dry. I didn't intend to transportation so many pictures of moisture flowers, but that's what I've got hither inwards the middle of August for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day.
