Summer Blooms

Roses... roses... roses...



So much in the garden to love right now...

My first rosa Mr. Lincoln bloom and I'm in love.

Trumpet Vine

Purple Coneflowers

I can barely enter the herb portion of the garden anymore. These are the marigold, zinnia, nasturium, cosmos, black eyes susans, and climbing vines I grew from seed.

A new addition, Blue Clips Bellflower:

Perennial Red Lobelia:

I found some deep discounted Limelight Hydrangea ($3.74) and put them behind these hostas on the side of the house. Not long from now they'll fill this whole space.

Here is a close-up of the Limelight

One of those tiny struggling clematis I planted years ago and have never seen bloom. So excited to see it bloom finally... it's variety is on a note in my room, so I'll have to get back to that one later.

The first canna is blooming... from the dozen canna rhizomes I got from the neighbor down the street.
