The Flower Gardens on July 1st
These are the highlights around the flowerbeds the first of July.
South Herb garden: The mystery flower is a bellflower
I kept very poor notes for 2 years from 2014 – 2016 and I had no idea what this was when it came up. It was prolific, had invaded the plants all around it. I weeded it out of them and left it, to see if I could figure out what it was.
South Herb garden: the bellflower on left, heliopsis in center, 4 O’Clocks behind, and Roman wormwood to right
West Herb garden: butterflyweed center, lemon balm upper left, bible plant lower center, tansy right side
Big rose on left, white hibiscus in center, mountain laurel on right
This climber rose came from my father’s house 35 years ago. It’s tenacious and I have never identified it.
Black-eyed Susan volunteers outside the 4th Fence garden
These are one of my favorite flowers.
4th Fence garden: Daylilies just starting to flower
These were the ones that caught my eye as I wandered around.
