Flowers a Bloom

Well this year is quite the year: busy weekends, rainy weekends and just all around kind of neglecting the gardens :-/   

Thankfully the wildflower border at least has been pretty self-sufficiently jungle-like while still being pretty!



I added a cute little cedar plank border that I think adds a very adorable cottagey look to it.

And then the flowers just started exploding in their spring glory!

The clematis reached the top and I had to help train it around the braces. In the end, this is as far as it appears it's going this year. Still not bad at all considering it only made it halfway up last year!

Then the lilies bloomed and all the clematis flowers fell off in the rain...is that it?! I thought at least my Earnest Markham was supposed to last all summer! I'd better get more blooms!! :-(

I totally missed getting a picture of the lovely smelling gardenia in bloom  😑 

But I'll tell you one thing - the hibiscus may very well be spectacular! It's huge!

So long as I can keep the caterpillars off  😑

And everything else is throwing out flowers now too...

As usual, it's a bit of a mess, but for the most part, these are all flowers! I've tried to be good about getting weeds out!
So I just need them to bloom to prove it! :-D

Bee's Balm!!

Daisies!!

A jumble of lovely craziness
