| Circle Bed - July 2014 - black-eyed Susans, lacinato kale, lupine, scarlet runner beans |
Earlier this year, I must have sown over two thousand plants, most of which were hardy flowering perennials. While it will be at least a couple of years before my ornamental beds fill in completely, I've been pleasantly surprised by the amount of blooms we're getting just this first year. The circle bed is looking particularly nice right now. And as certain plants begin to fade (like my fava beans and kale), I've been replacing them with other plants I've kept on hand (like my cannas and some additional perennials I purchased online back in May).
In any case, here's what's currently blooming in the gardens at the moment. Enjoy!

Your garden looks absolutely beautiful - that dahlia is just stunning!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Wow, wow, and WOW! I'm really loving the combo of scarlett runner beans in the top photo.
ReplyDeleteAnd your phlox David looks amazing. I know it's supposed to be somewhat mildew free, but I always get a touch of it. Yours looks amazing!
Have a great day in the garden!
So beautiful! This is my favourite type of a garden, annuals, perrenials and vegetables all together :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. What is the red coreopsis. It is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's caller "Ruby...." something I think. I lost the label unfortunately. :( All I know it is that it roots well from cuttings!
DeleteAbsolutely stunning, beautiful, gorgeous! Your garden needs to be included in that garden tour you took earlier. Kudos to the gardener - you.
