The garden continues to progress. The spring flowers like the daffodils and pansies are now wilted as the temperatures rise. The summer bloomers like hydrangeas, daylilies and sunflowers are beginning their reign.
The days continue to lengthen and the nights are definitely warmer. As the soil warms, more shoots are emerging. I have planted my caladium bulbs and they are out of the ground. As they emerge, the two varieties Candide and Spring Fling are unfurling.
I am submitting my blog to the Six on Saturday crowd tomorrow. Come have a look and enjoy gardens from around the world. Follow the rules and share 6 of your own photos. The weblink is https://gardenruminations.co.uk. Jim Stephens is the host.
Here is my 6 for this week.
Hemerocallis fulva
The Calla lilies are just beginning to emerge. This is the second year for them and they are handsome.
The daylily is an old favorite. It is at the edge of a small woodland and receives afternoon sun.
The pink woodsorrell is a visitor to my yard and I do not discourage it. It is dainty and seems to mind its manners.
The hydrangea is blooming this year after several years of absence. It blooms on “old wood” so any cold snaps during the winter may ruin the blooming. We had favorable conditions this past winter.
The sunflower is a dwarf that inhabits a new small bed that I built this spring. It has a nice collection of “mates” to share the space. It receives afternoon sun and seems quite “sunny”.
The glad is unnamed but it is a royal looking color. It is standing straight up with a dozen of its regal companions.
I wish you pleasant weather and Happy Gardening!
