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 seeit when they come to the back door.
Foxglove. I read somewhere that if you want to havefoxgloves 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.
Peeking at the Jacob's Ladder through the Blue Oat Grass, the bees were busy here too.

This wild mess of color is out in the veggie garden, it makes mesmile 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!
A Geum close-up, it's a little invasive and sometimes Icontemplate pulling it all out...but it's still here creating
a color riot and making me smile.
This poor Delphinium has a new home...again. 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?
I keep pulling out this wild rose...and it keeps coming back,this is one determined plant.
This one is so pretty, I love the shape of the petals, the way

This yellow climber has a really big pretty bloom but it'salways a big mess of rust and black spot...grrrrr.
This Salvia out by the fish pond is the perfect blue to balancewith 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.
My garden is full of happy blossoms today, I hope you enjoyed the few that I was able to show you.
Happy Bloom Day!
