Is it already May 15! Where has the month gone? Ready or not, it's Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. There almost two dozen different species blooming in my yard. Here's a look.
Impatients
Shrimp Plant
First every rain lily (almost bloom) thanks to our recent downpour.
Lantana and dwarf plumbago
Nandina
Larkspur
Coral honeysuckle
Eggplant
Jalapeno pepper
Tomato bloom
Basil
Archduke Charles rose
:( Thrips have invaded my rose bush
Crown of thorns
Porchulaca rainbow (sorry, the blooms close in the evening and I was a few minutes too late taking the picture)
Diantus
A few soon to be blooms: agapanthus and purple coneflower
Aster
Catmint
Autumn Joy sedum
Black and blue salvia
Dill
Confederate Jasmine
Be sure to drop by May Dreams to see what else is blooming in gardens around the globe.
That rain lily looks similar to my pink ones (which are also blooming). If so, the bulb will multiply into a nice little thicket of growth. I really enjoy their intense pink color (as most tend to be white or pale pink).
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Those jalapeno blooms look familiar... we have 4 jalapeno plants that survived the winter and actually I dont think I'm had to buy any jalas at the grocery store in at least a year!
ReplyDeleteLovely post...that shot of the Catmint is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Scott. I put that sponge in the tray to hep the bees get a drink. I like how it matches with the terracotta and contrasts with the purple.
