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

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.

Will keep that in mind!

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.

Love those September roses

My first attempt at mixed potted flowers. I’m very pleased - nicer and much cheaper than the baskets at the garden center.
Badly overgrown now but I can’t bear to trim them.

The strappy plants in the center are Japanese iris. Anyone know how to get them through the winter?

@Steve-Miller Oooh, that's really nice! Yes, container plantings from the nurseries are really expensive.
