Blooms July 2024

Rose 'Easy Spirit' 

 

'The Ambridge Rose':

'Sweet Madamoiselle':

'Earth Angel':

'Souvenir de la Malmaison':

'Yves Piaget'

 'Burgundy Iceberg':

This white Dahlia, name lost, is a tidy grower:

Waterlily or Formal Decorative form?

This next one was supposed to be 'Marble Ball', but it is neither marbled, nor does the flower have Ball Form.  Beautiful color, though.   That's enough for me.

Several Dahlias have yet to flower, 'Cafe Au Lait' being one of them.   A few others rotted over the winter, but far, far better a few rotted Dahlias than a winter without rain. 

 

The Cosmos grown from seed have flower buds about to open:

  

Echeveria harmsii 'Ruby Slippers' about to flower, too.  The single rosette has, over time, become many:

Hemerocallis 'Strawberry Candy':

A quite yellow California Poppy with orange centers that just---appeared.

Bumble at the 'Mystic Spires Blue' Salvia:

Leonotis leonurus:

The first flower this summer from mighty Protea 'Sylvia':

Hesperaloe parviflora:

The Leucanthemums are slowing and will soon finish for the year

Pentas will continue through Summer

 

Nice surprise--another round of flowers from Iris 'Absolute Treasure':

A super-dwarf Cuphea, 'La Chiquita' is surprisingly charming. The plant is about 6" (15cm) wide and the flowers are the size of pinheads. 

Coleus flower, too.  I think they are categorized as Plectranthus now.

Hemerocallis, name lost:

Monarchs fly so fast.  It was checking out Cuphea 'Vermillionaire':

A mix of Coleus--uh--Plectranthus, Fuchsias, and Geranium 'Rozanne'

Interesting combo of 'East Friesland' Salvia with Teucrium chamedrys--the rose-pink with the purple.  

Out-of-the-ordinary flowers of Globularia x dubia

Happy July Flowers!
