Happy July!

 

Happy July!

I have a new blog header.  I'll share the details - charts and designers in a post after the holiday weekend.

I have a hodgepodge of photos to share for the Tuesday Garden Party.

These are plants that pleased me as I walked about the Front Porch and Back Patio.

Thunbergia or Black-eyed Susan vine is traditionally orange or yellow.  Last year I found a white Thunbergia - this year I've found a lovely lavender one.  So you guessed it this year I have a yellow, an orange, a white, and a lavender vine.   

I am loving this sedum-filled green glazed strawberry pot. I'm particularly amused as it seems to be the exact same one that Margaret Roach, the former Garden Editor of Martha Stewart Living, and now of A Way to Garden featured on one of her posts!  I'm in good company anyway 

This nasturtium has amazing non-stop color! 

On a miniature level, this small pale blue pot pleases me. 

Over in the Mudroom flowerbed this Echinacea "Aloha" is a delight! 

As is this mystery plant. There's no longer a tag for it.  Anyone have any ideas?

Part of the flowerbed is a study in blues including Black and Blue Salvia, Electric Blue Penstemon.

Here's a look at the entire bed.  You can see why it attracts and amuses my hummingbirds.

Over on the Front Porch I am enjoying my collection of Coleus.

And this display of thyme, baby's tears, and a small grass.

My newest Hosta is called "Lewis and Clark"! 

On the Back Patio this display is coming along nicely. 

As is my three tiered bench of sedum and sempervivum.  

When it gets very hot, the cats stretch out underneath the display seeking cool and shade.

    

My mom likes foxgloves.  Here's her newest purchase.

Digiplexis Illumination 'Flame'.

And though it is now July and the temperature is 90f, the sweet peas continue to delight!  

I hope you find delight in your garden.

One year ago today Mom and I visited the Tate Britain and took a Christopher Wren London Walk.
