The Garden - July 2019

Bachelor Buttons

The flower garden continues to bring new things and the return of my favorites. The Bachelor Button seeds were actually planted last summer and didn't do anything, and then came in like crazy this spring along with the Larkspur. The California Poppies re-seeded themselves and came back in beautifully as well. The Dianthus came in stronger this year, and there are actually 4 different varities/colors in one pot for a extended burst of color. The thing I am most excited about is my first attempt at Gladiolus and they bloomed with one of my favorite colors, the beautiful coral red, and a lavendar/blue one is set to open soon too. As I type this there is a green Hummingbird feeding on the red Crocosmia on the side of my front porch, so much color happening right now!
