What a weird month we have had. Looking back same time last year, there are so many things that have yet to start blooming.
Fear not, there is still a lot to see! Well, maybe too much so I apologize in advance. But that’s what happens when you’re a “collector”, right?
Here’s a bit of what is happening throughout my garden right now…
Lilium x martagon ‘Claude Shride’
I am falling in love with lilies of all forms…
Eremurus

One of my favorite plants in the garden….I know, I’m weird…it’s a euphorbia, right? Swoon
Euphorbia ‘Dean’s Hybrid’
Dracocephalum
Oenothera fruticosa ‘Fireworks’
Anchusa
I was lucky enough to win this at the fall swap and I lovingly call it Anchusa ‘Amy Campion’ since I’m not sure which Anchusa it is and she was kind enough to share!

Full disclosure, I’m cheating a little on the white Bletilla and using an earlier picture ..I prefer to remember them this way…
Bletilla striata ‘Kuchibeni’
Bletilla yokohama x ‘Kate’ ? (could use help on the name here but my best guess)
Spiraea NoID
Knautia macedonia ‘Thunder and Lightning’
.
Sisyrinchium ‘E.K. Balls’
Dianthus Dainty Dame
Rhodohypoxis
Clematis NoID
I really need to stop adding pictures and just publish this because otherwise it’s not going to be Bloom Day anymore!

What a great range of plants. Many a bit exotic for the UK. I loved the Lilium x martagon ‘Claude Shride’
