It's July 15th, which can only mean one thing: everything is in bloom!
It's July 15th, which can only mean one thing: everything is in bloom!
Coreopsis, 'Red Shift'
Gaura 'Snow Fountain'
Amaranth 'Burgundy'
Basil (despite my best dead-heading efforts)
Eggplant 'Lavender Touch'
And with a little more searching...
A baby!
Pole Beans 'Spanish Music'
Lemon 'Eureka'
Another variety of amaranth, 'Love-Lies-Bleeding'
(My favorite plant and favorite plant name)
The Western Garden Book says that 'Love-Lies-Bleeding' is, "a curiosity, not a pretty plant..."
Lightening may strike me for disagreeing with the bible, but I think it's gorgeous.
Winter squash 'Butternut'
Rose 'Miss Alice'
Dahlias, lots of them!
Including....
Giant yellow ones of unknown variety. This size is often referred to as dinner plate.
I really don't care for them. I think they are totally freaky.
