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

            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!

                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.)

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

                    Sorry, RP, I can't help.

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

                              @rustyfingers said in Bloomscrolling--what's in bloom where you are?:

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

                                  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.

                                      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.

                                        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.

                                          @Steve-Miller Oh, no! How disappointing. I know the feeling... I've had orchids put out buds only to find they'd been eaten by mice!
