Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – June 2012
My first Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day post a few days late. :P
What is happening back here flower wise these days?
Zucchini Flower!
Poppies, poppies and more poppies.
Yarrow and CA fushias and salvia clevelandii.
Roses.
Cerinthe major
Mimulus.
I bought a few small plants yesterday so maybe I’ll have an actual in bloom flower bed later this year. :)
Nice blog! We have friends in the Bay Area and it seemed to me to be a challenging place to garden. But I really like what you are doing with your yard.
The bay area can be challenging depending on where you are I think. Coastal areas or in SF proper are probably harder than where I am. I don't get much fog and my yard is like, all full sun practically. I'm trying to take advantage of it all!
I ADORE salvia clevelandii….and the fragrance…amazing!
Me too! I think the picture I posted is an Allen Chickering variety. My other clevlandii is a much deeper purple. I just planted 5 (!) spathaceas too. I can't wait for those to bloom!
I am so pleased you put a Zucchini flower in – veggie and fruit blossom often get forgotten and some of them are amazing! I hope you get an "in bloom flower bed" very soon. Cute cat by the way!
not only are zucchini flowers huge and pretty they are DELISH! :)
thanks for the comments!
Poppies remind me of OZ So, you won’t take waninrg, eh? All the worse for you. I’ll take care of you now instead of later. When I gain those ruby slippers, my power will be the greatest in Oz. Now my beauties. Something with poi-son in it I think. With poison in it. But attractive to the eye and soothing to the smell. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Poppies. Poppies. Poppies will put them to sleep. Sle-ee-p. Now they’ll sle-ee-p. -Wicked Witch of the West
Love the California poppy in today's posting. I have a number of them self-seeding each year here on the shores of Lake Michigan. I love California and envy all of you out there
