Your garden is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is absolutely beautiful! I enjoyed the visit!
ReplyDeleteThere nothing like the light in your world. It makes all the plants shine. Happy Bloom Day Phillip. Thanks for sharing your garden. ~~Dee
ReplyDeleteYour garden is spectacular, Phillip! Wish I could grow that foxtail rosemary - it's wonderful. And the orange Calla... wow!
ReplyDeleteThe coreopsis and lavender looks so perfect together. My bee balm gets chewed every single year. I let it be the sacrificial plant, since nothing else near it gets eaten.
ReplyDeleteI am SO envious of your weather, although I have to say that, by comparison to other areas of the country, my part of coastal Southern California has also enjoyed a relatively mild summer, at least thus far. No rain for us, however! I loved your coreopsis/lavender vignette and I think I need to add some coreopsis this summer - the one perennial form I have hasn't yet made an appearance and seems more diminished with each passing year. Your Shasta daisy is a looker too.
ReplyDeleteOh that's a nice little Coreopsis-I'm very partial to yellow flowers. Maybe that Shasta is 'Becky' ? I had that one once and seem to remember just opened flowers were pale yellow fading to white as they mature. It's been a hot season here so far with many days in the 90's. The coast is beckoning.
ReplyDeleteSo many blooms. I enjoy seeing each and every one.
ReplyDeleteThose are spectacular I know many of them can't be grown in a climate where I live but still would try Filipendula as an annual for our spring season .
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can do with crocosmia is kill it -- and then blame it on the weather. Pineapple Guava would be a stretch in my climate but with it changing, who knows? I am glad you had good weather - our summer has been great for growing cactus but nothing else.
