Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - July 2016

Lilium lancifolium 'Flore Pleno'

Welcome to Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for July 2016.

Here inward my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden, it is high summertime as well as the gardens are putting out the blooms, to a greater extent than ofttimes than non on schedule.

Yesterday evening, the skies darkened, the temperatures dropped as well as several thunderstorms rolled through bringing wind, rain, as well as bits of hail.

Thankfully, the garden withstood the assault as well as for the most part, all the plants were standing tall inward the morning. Those that weren't volition probable correct themselves eventually. If not, I'll assist them later.

Blooms? Or yes, summertime is total of blooms.

Out inward Plopper's Field, where I plop inward plants wherever at that spot is an opened upwards spot, the lovely-to-some as well as hideous-to-others double-flowering lily, Lilium lancifolium 'Flore Pleno', has begun to opened upwards its blooms. Behind it is the mutual exactly too-pretty-not-to-have coneflower, Echinacea purpurea.

What else blooms inward Plopper's Field?

There are Shasta daisies, Leucanthemum × superbum.

And the tiny white flowers of calamint, Calamintha nepeta var. nepeta.

And unopen to other lily, Lilium 'Black Beauty', an Orientpet lily.

I am quite fascinated with Orientpet lilies, hybrids created past times crossing Oriental as well as Trumpet lilies. I've added a few to the garden each twelvemonth for the past times few years as well as think to add together to a greater extent than this fall.

As I've said for months, Plopper's Field needs a practiced chip of editing as well as weeding.  I'll weed every bit I tin for during the summertime as well as this fall, laid out unopen to editing.

Out inward the vegetable garden the zinnias are commencement to bloom.

 Collectively, they lure inward the bees as well as butterflies, which is what I hoped they would do.

What I didn't computer program on was beingness thence smitten with them, again, after all these years.

Individually, they tin last quite stunning.

I'm already making plans to purchase to a greater extent than zinnia seeds, to a greater extent than varieties, as well as arrive at total the fringes of the vegetable garden with them.

Another garden border, August Dreams Garden, is starting to instruct interesting, correct on schedule. It was designed for tardily blooming flowers.

There nosotros reckon the foremost blooms on the loving cup flowers, Silphium perfoliatum.

I am vigilant close non letting these instruct to seed as well as spread throughout the garden because it is a large plant. One is enough inward my small-scale garden.

Nearby is Culver's Root, Veronicastrum virginicum.

I'm growing it because it is a native wildflower as well as fits inward good with August Dreams Garden which is to a greater extent than ofttimes than non prairie type plants. I mightiness possess got to characteristic this ane for Wildflower Wednesday, unopen to other swell meme for sharing data on flowers.  It takes house on the quaternary Wed of the calendar month as well as is hosted past times Gail at Clay as well as Limestone.

I did allow a daylily sneak inward at that spot alongside the to a greater extent than ofttimes than non native prairie plants.  This ane has bloom stems over v feet tall as well as is called 'Notify Ground Crew'.

Who could resist such a tall daylily? Not me apparently.

All of August Dream Garden volition last inward bloom the side past times side fourth dimension nosotros come across for bloom day.

Between thence as well as now, I postulate to operate out as well as alternative light-green beans.
