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.

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.

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.
