Hello everyone,
Since I took you on a tour of the garden yesterday, I wanted to share some close up shots today of some of the plants blooming in the garden now.
Well, first I wanted to share my garden bouquet in the watering can that I painted pistachio green.
Our holly hocks are blooming now.
These orginated from seed my Dad gave me a long time ago. They keep reseeding and popping up nearby.
I guess the bees like them too!
The phlox is putting on a good show- I have many different varieties in many different colors.
I love some of the new coneflowers and would like to add more to the hillside garden.
I love the Limelight hydrangea that is starting to bloom now and will continue for weeks.
Another coneflower that I bought last year.
There is also lots of astillbe in bloom is different colors.
The ville de lyon clematis looks pretty growing over the birdhouse.
Clematis 'Abundance' lives up to it's name and blooms abundantly.
Clematis Jackmani superba
Beebalm is loved by the bees and the hummingbirds as well as the gardener!
More phlox
Another Jackmani superba
I love the bicolor monkshood with the clematis behind it.
there are hundreds of daylilies in bloom now.
The Mary Rose is still putting on a show.
Well, these are a few closeups of what is in bloom now . I have a few ladies coming to see the garden in the morning so I better get to bed so I can get up early and do some deadheading before they come!
I hope you all enjoy your weekend,
Carolyn
WOW... just wow ♥

ReplyDeleteHello Carolyn
ReplyDeleteThe macro shots of your flowers are excellent.
Every time I look at what you have blooming I compare it to here and it seems like you are about 3 weeks behind us.
I bought H. 'Limelight' this year after wanting if for awhile and just love it.
Enjoy your garden visit.

Hi Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThe Limelight hydrangea is availabe at all the garden centres here. I just saw some nice ones on clearance for $12. They grow fast ans are so easy to grow here.
Thank you all for your kind words.
Enjoy your weekend,
Carolyn
I love your garden Caroyln, it is spectacular. You must spend a lot of time taking care of it. I am trying to establish a new rose garden right now and I am inspired by your pics. You have so many established beautiful flowering plants.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed both the tour and the close ups...This is how I one day hope my garden will look...For the moment it is still a big patch of white builders sand and uncleared woods...But your amazing photos has inspired me to start planning garden bed locations and what to start planting come the cooler weather.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful visit today.

The flowers in your garden are so lovely. I really enjoyed looking at all of them!!! You really know your flower names. Maybe if I take a photo of something that I have no idea what it is...you can tell me :) :) :) I hope you get lots of nice visitors to your garden this weekend. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Carolyn! Love the Clematis Abundance and the Phlox! You have such a gorgeous garden and wouldn't your Dad have loved seeing his hollyhocks still putting on a show after all these years? Thanks for sharing and enjoy the weekend. Gorgeous, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Hi Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteThe green you painted your watering can is just beautiful. Green is one of my favourite colours and especially for outdoor furniture.
I have never seen a Mary Rose before. What a gorgerous rose. I love pink roses.
I enjoyed all your photos

Your garden is just magical. It's beautiful. You are further north than we are, which is why your flowers are later blooming than mine. I think I'll add something to my bucket list - a real live visit to your garden. That would be just amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, serene, and dreamy:)
ReplyDeleteYour garden is sooooo beautiful at any time of the year... loving your clematis, such beauties!!!! and always hollyhocks!!!!

ReplyDeleteYour garden gives valuable images of flowers and colorful, almost feel the smell here.
Excellent choices, Alcee usually are bright colors, your are truly delicious and delicate.
The clematis I love them, I could fill the whole garden, but I have some suffer the summer heat.

Hello Caroly, Your garden is putting on an incredible show! I love the Monkshood, and lack any of my own! We feel a little fall like too, funny because it has so briefly felt like summer, The strangest year I have ever seen!
