June is flying by. I can hardly catch my breath, but it's all worth it because of this:

Butterfly bush
Yellow Buddleja, with a little pollinator

Dahlias
Dahlias


Mullein
Volunteer Verbascum

Cuke
The cucumber plant has a baby and more flowers!

Glads
Nobody seems to like them, but the Gladiolus are blooming.

Flowers
Tomato flowers make my mouth water.

Artichokes
Ok, it's not exactly blooming, but my very first artichoke plant is in bud.
The flowers will be snipped (and eaten) before they bloom!

Loverly colors! What does a artichoke bloom look like?

They're in the thistle family. They're beautiful. Here is a picture from a google search: http://www.flickr.com/photos/60253866@N00/35750786/
