Bloomscrolling--what's in bloom where you are?

Love the polka colour.

Here's some Mock Orange (philadelphus?) with wonderful scent

@AndyD I have a mock orange bush. The perfume is heady. Love it.

[Bernard]

@AndyD I love those lilies! Gorgeous!

[Steve Miller]

The soft orange roses are a fave!

We’re in Canada in a charming little town called Niagara on the Lake. Six block downtown area is lined with flowers on both sides of the street; pots, planters, you name it.

Beautiful!

@Steve-Miller Simply lovely! Enjoy your time in Canada.

Empress Wu Hosta. It's huge! I dare say about 5 feet tall.

Although it doesn't flower, the ferns next to the Hosta are just as big.

I don't have many Foxgloves this year. Only a few plants scattered about the yard. (But I have more Hollyhocks than ever before! Looking forward to them blossoming, one of my favorites.)

Somebody help me with my tarragon! It’s out of control.

[Bernard]

@RealPlayer Point at it with a stern expression and exclaim with authority, "Tarra, gone!"

Sorry, RP, I can't help.

Eastern Prickly pear, native to New England believe it or not

@rustyfingers

Have you tried eating them?

Nopales!

[rustyfingers]

Ours bloom but they have never fruited.

I've seen those opuntias in the sandy soils of East Hampton, New York, by the beach. Flowering too. What an unexpected treat!

I think nopales are the "leaves" (maybe they are called "pads") rather than a fruit.

Ah. I learned something new!

[RealPlayer]

You can eat both the pads and the fruit…if you get fruit. I think the fruits may be pretty small in these eastern species.

Japanese balloon flower. My new favorite garden plant!

[Bernard]

My Wisteria is blossoming. I planted a twig of a plant about 4 years ago. It's reached the top of the gazebo and I've got blossoms.

[Steve Miller]

How about no bloom scrolling?

Deer at all of the flowers and buds off of my daylilies. They even ate the ones I brought home in my suitcase after I visited Lilylady. The fancy double yellow ones.

That’s it. I’m getting a wolf.
