Bloomscrolling--what's in bloom where you are?
-
Color pallette at local National Wildlife Refuge: native Joe Pye weed, purple loosestrife (pretty, but highly invasive), native goldenrod, non-native Queen Anne's lace, cattails.

Nice!

The garden has suffered a bit the past few weeks as rain has been scarce. We had a bit of rain last evening, but we need a lot more.
Nevertheless, flowers keep coming. The latest are these white lilies that have never blossomed before. The foliage is looking pretty ratty as they get attacked by those vicious red beetles.
The Phlox has also started to blossom. This one is my favorite for the color and scent.
A few Turks Caps. They also get attacked by the beetles.
These geraniums are in their second year; I brought them indoors last fall and kept them going all winter. Sadly, they are getting hit with rust.
This thistle popped up this year (likey came from the bird seed). I love it it reminds me of my childhood. I saw a goldfinch approaching it last week.

Nice! Dry here too. Not a great year for the garden
Did some heavy pruning of the lavender and native red twig dogwood, and they look much better.

Native skullcap on the hellstrip

I had planted some morning glory seeds in a pot last year. This spring I dumped the dirt from the pot into an elevated bed next to the fence and planted romaine lettuce in it. A couple of "weeds" sprouted up around the lettuce. I pulled one plant out and then thought "hmmm, this leaf looks familiar" and left the rest.
The volunteers, living up to their name:
I like the look so much I think I may just plant vining flowers (morning glories , moonflowers, and maybe nasturtiums) in the elevated bed next year. The vines look lovely on the fence!

Pretty. My sister's morning glories in Oregon got out of control and were impossible to eradicate. Probably depends on your climate.

Native New York Ironweed
@rustyfingers Pretty color.

Will keep that in mind!

Native wild senna
It's gone, well, wild this year!

All very beautiful!

Here in England the apple trees are bending under the weight of a bumper harvest, guess our near draught has forced them. Blackberries also in season.
And a garden nearby is full of gladiolus, mostly red, but a lovely white with hint of pink
-
@rustyfingers A very beautiful shade of pink.
