What’s blooming today?

June 12, 2012 by Sue Leave a Comment

It’s June and the daffodils are done but the late spring flowers are on.  Here’s a sampling of what’s going on out in my flower gardens right now.  They’re starting to look pretty good now that all the seedlings are finally in the ground and it’s warming up.  I have 5 varieties of penstemon blooming, 3 varieties of poppies, and several different gaillardias.  With vigorous spraying, I’ve managed to keep the deer from eating the rosebuds, so they are just starting to open on some of the bushes.

Red Riding Hood penstemon
Rocky Mountain penstemon
Queen Alexandra oriental poppies
California poppies
columbine
Gaillardia
impatiens started from seed
Lamium
Nicotiana Perfume Deep Purple Hybrid started from seed
marigolds started from seed
Our Lady of Guadalupe rose
Peony Sorbet which is supposed to be pink & cream but in my alkali soil turns inexplicably white; but still beautiful
