Aruncus - Goat's Beard
Formal Garden
Coral Bells
To celebrate I took slow walks around the gardens -- both
this morning and then again this afternoon. Ended up taking more than 140 photos of the many flowers in
bloom today. Here I will post
twenty-four of them – an “overview” of the day.
Maltese Cross
Lysimachia - 1st day blooming
Gottendorf Rose - 1st day blooming
Lilac
Creeping Jenny - 1st day blooming
Lupine
Lake Michigan
always adds so much to the garner experience
Moss Rose
Siberian Iris - yellow
Weigela - Wine and Roses
Allium Azureum - 1st day blooming
Allium Mountain Mix
Centaurea Montana
Peony
Poppy
Siberian Iris - Caesar Blue
I think that some of the plants must keep, hidden somewhere
in amongst their leaves, a calendar of when Summer officially begins because there
were some plants that bloomed today for the first time. They must have know that today is the
start of Summer.
Splish Splash Geranium
Most interesting - every bloom is different - no two the same on the plant.

Thanks for allowing me the privilege of going on this walk with you.AS always,the flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, thanks for showing them. I think I never have seen your formal garden before. I think your plants its blooming one or two weeks before the plants in our garden in northern Sweden. Of all the plants you showing here there only the Centaurea Montana and some of our iris that is blooming yet.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice summer! /Hans
