Beautiful Summer Blooms

It’s the first day of Summer and it’s humid!

Some of the plants which are currently bursting out with colors in the garden are Daililies, Peony, Agapanthus ‘Storm Cloud,’ Salvia, Sage, Gaura, Snapdragon and rose bushes.

Julia Rose Itoh Peony is one of the newest addition to my front yard garden. I can’t get enough of its gorgeous large flowers with ruffled petals and sweet fragrance.

Asparagus Fern always make a nice full display and is a wonderful houseplant too.

I am loving the daylilies this year with their vibrant colors.

The Horsetail Reeds in one of my many sliced wine barrels have not been thriving this season. As you can see, the hard to control creeping woodsorrel have equally been competing for water and nutrients. As soon as I manually remove them, I will have stronger and healthier Horsetail Reeds to enjoy.

Happy gardening and don’t forget to keep both your plants and yourselves hydrated.
