Bloom Day, August 15, 2010
Well, we’re not in July anymore. The day lilies are all but done. The hydrangeas are darkening. And the anemones are beginning to bloom. A friend did some phantom gardening in the secret garden a couple years ago. He plunked two little bits of anemone, one pink, the other white. This is the first year they have bloomed. The pink ones are in a sunnier part of the garden, so they have come on first.
Below are the today’s bloomers.
The Ever-blooming and Sweet-smelling Wild Berry Breeze Hansa Rose

Only the Coral Bells And Impatiens Are Blooming, But I Love This Shady Bed Under the Magnolia
I love how the Tardiva frames a view. Maybe it is just your good photographing. Happy Bloom Day.
Really like the look of the impatiens bed. And the lavender and canna combo is quite nice.
It really isn’t July anymore! I don’t know about you, but I’m trying to get my head around the fact that fall classes begin in two weeks. I really enjoyed seeing all your blooms. -Jean
Hi it is extremely useful to have a post like this because you can then revisit when racking the brain to fill gaps in the border at this time of year. Enjoyed my first visit to your blog.
