On the fifteenth of each month, our gracious host, Carol, at May Dreams Gardens hosts one of the longest lasting garden bloggers' memes, Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day.  Bloggers are invited to share pictures of what is blooming in their gardens each month of the year.  To learn more about Carol, Bloom Day, and to see a list of garden bloggers around the world who are participating this month, click on her link above! 

Here are a few of the blooms in my garden today.

Hydrangeas


 

 

Do you see the similarity in the flowers of the above hydrangea and those of it's cousin, Dichroa febrifuga?


Brugmansias

 
Aconitum napellus (Monk's Hood)

Tuberous begonias


 
This one still is still thrilling me.  Relatively new in the trade, it's a Begonia boliviensis variety, hybrid, or selection that's this rose pink color.  Love it!

 
Rose 'Fragrant Cloud' is sure earning the name!  I love the scent of roses wafting on the air!



The fragrant oriental lilies are starting to bloom.  Such a fragrant time of year!

 
 
Dahlias



 
Alstromeria

Eryngium 'Big Blue'

Crocosmia 'Lucifer'
 
 Clematis

Grevillea 'Ned Kelly'


Abutilon megapotamicum (of course)

Hemerocallis 'Hyperion' one of my faves, has huge flowers and a beautiful fragrance!  It was too early for them to be open for the day.  Hey bud, smile for the camera!
 
 Too pretty to eat, right?


 Artichokes get to bloom  this year.  It's surprising how many people have asked what these were even before they opened.


"The Calla Lilies are in bloom again."
 
 
Hope you all have a great Bloom Day!
