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

Bernard, your hydrangeas are fantastic! That color!

I have a love/hate thing going with mine. They look great some times, but any little stress (heat, water, who knows what) makes them collapse in to a heap. Winter is always touch and go.

Are you doing anything special with yours?

Very beautiful!

The heat knocked a lot of plants back but not the pansies. They took off!

Those are Petunias.

@Steve-Miller My Hydrangeas did not do well until I moved them to a morning sun only location. They now face east and from appearances, like it.

@Bernard

Ha! You’re right!

My hand to show size. Beautiful colours

[Steve Miller]

So pretty!

@Bernard my hydrangeas also face east and have quadrupled in size since we moved in eight years ago.

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.
