Buddleia is finally blooming. This is the mother plant. Pruned branches in February were shoved into the soil to a depth of about 8". Two of those are beginning to show color.
More sunflowers have opened. Esther's Mix.
Elephant ears perked up after watering.
Malva zebrina. I love this plant. Hardly any rust unlike my hollyhocks, and much showier flowers.
Okra. Yes, I did plant it next to the street. Why?
Some unknown thing is blooming white.
Rudbeckia hirta.
with Shasta Daisy.
30% chance of late afternoon/evening thunderstorms in the forecast. I hope they're right. Going to see Jackie's yard this morning. She wants advice on what to plant and where. Working the late shift. I hope it rains. 78 degrees and partly cloudy at 8:20am. 78% humidity.
Your garden and flowers are looking great! ... Good Job!
ReplyDeleteLots of people don't care for Stellas, but they give you blooms almost all summer IF YOU KEEP THEM WATERED. I absolutely love them. I have many other daylilies that are much more expensive but only bloom for a short period of time once a year. I made it a point to get lots more Stellas last year. They have been rewarding me for over a month now with glorious bloom color. They will take a short rest and then start over again in just a week or so. I do keep mine watered well so I can enjoy the show a lot longer.
I always enjoy seeing your photos, keep up the good work.

Great looking blooms. Our sunflowers are way behind yours.
