14 Jul 2008Another nice bloom photo Phlox 'David' Blooming and Perennial Bed gardenSunny 31°C / 88°F
I tend to have a lot of problems getting good pictures of white or light colored flowers, so I’m always happy when one turns out. This was taken a few days ago and these blooms are starting to fade, but I have another bloom cluster that is getting ready to open. I had read that ‘Davi...

My alyssum had pretty much been doing not much of anything for a while and had even gone largely out of bloom. I’ve sprayed it a few times with some fertilizer and I don’t know if that has helped, but at least on the left hand side it is really going now. It has almost totally fille...

14 Jul 2008Pretty, accidental combination 1 Butterfly Bush 'Harlequin' Blooming and Perennial Bed gardenSunny 31°C / 88°F

My Joe Pye Weed, which is supposed to bloom in late summer, is already budded up. It has grown taller this year than it did last year and I really need to see about staking it.

The first ‘Lavender Perfection’ bloom is now fully open and another bloom on the same plant is just starting to open. They are very beautiful and seem to be doing a bit better than my dahlis did last year.

08 Jul 2008current photos of the beds 1 Perennial Bed gardenSunny 27°C / 81°F
I took two photos to show what my perennial beds look like in July 2008. The left hand side has more diversity, with the wallflower STILL blooming, a few coneflowers, phlox David and a ‘Lavender Perfection’ dahlia all in bloom. The flossflower is also doing better on the side, I thi...
