Ok...enough of that whiney stuff.
It's Garden Bloggers Bloom Day! Between naps I managed to pop out and snap a few photos. I should have waited until a bit later when the light wasn't so intense but I'll probably be conked out by then.
Isn't my peony pretty? The bee thinks so too.
The clematis is blooming full blast, everybody gets to see
it when they come to the back door.Foxglove. I read somewhere that if you want to have
foxgloves in your garden you need to be willing to accept
the fact that they will bloom where they want to, not where
you want them to. I'm always behind on my weeding so the
foxgloves have a pretty good chance around here.

Blue Oat Grass, the bees were busy here too.
smile every time I see it. Chives, Geum, Blue Geranium and
Garlic scapes in the background. I put the Geum and Geranium
out there until I found a good spot for them...oops...that was
a few years ago.
Another wild mess out by the fish ponds. I like the contrast ofthe Black Mondo Grass against the greens, the orange of the Geum
just makes the whole thing pop!
contemplate pulling it all out...but it's still here creating
a color riot and making me smile.
I think I've moved it every year for the last three.
This just might be permanent! So far so good.
What would a day in June be without roses?
this is one determined plant.
the light hits the layers.
always a big mess of rust and black spot...grrrrr.
with the orange of the Geum....the dreadful thing about these
is that they smell like...umm...how do I put this delicately...
they smell like cat piddle, no lie. I have to warn friends who come
over to gather bouquets not to include this one....because their
bouquet will smell like a giant cat box.
But this Magnolia smells absolutely wonderful, when I walk by
it always makes me stop and smile....these down facing blossoms
are so pretty when you tilt them up to take a closer look.
enjoyed the few that I was able to show you.
Happy Bloom Day!

Sorry you're sick...better just lounge by the pool.
What a marvelous garden for bloom day. We have two roses in bloom and that's it.
I just looked at your blog and saw all the beautiful flowers at the farm and it made me miss you even more, it's cloudy in Seattle but we did have a good weekend.
love and kisses, Diane
What gorgeous flowers!
That second photo of a pink rose is so beautiful!
You certainly have a green thumb.
I never get tired of looking at your beautiful flowers.
That yellow/red rose is stunner.
Beautiful blooms, I'd love to be successful with delphiniums in my garden. If I had one and moved it, it would probably die on me!
Thanks for joining in for bloom day!
