Where there is a will.... yes I've managed to cobble together a Bloomday post. There are some pretty poor photos in this mix. But you take what you can get when you're mobility is restricted (a broken ankle, I hate to keep repeating that for those of you who've already heard... but I know Bloomday posts can bring in new readers). Anyway, here are (most) of the June blooms in my garden...![]()
Aristaloe aristata

Indigofera amblyantha

Here I was trying to get the Grevillea x gaudichaudii bloom, however my phone's camera wanted to focus on the Agave parrasana 'Meat Claw' instead, I suppose that's not a surprise.

The yellow color echo between the Santolina chamaecyparissus and the Callistemon sieberi is lovely in person. Not so much in this bad iPhone photo.

Nicotiana that I didn't plant. It's a descendant of those I planted a few years ago. The colors keep changing and I never know what's going to show up. Originally they were supposed to be grey.... but they were instead a powdery pink, this is an improvement over that.

Ugh. This photo is so bad! It makes this planter arrangement look even worse than it is, which admittedly is pretty bad. It was my next improvement project (along with the bromeliad trashcan lids) when all garden work came to a screeching halt. Still I had to record that this epiphyllum is blooming...

Such a cool plant.

Another long distance grainy photo, this one to document the bougainvillea behind the Agave 'Blue Glow'...

A close-up...

Finally, there are a few "get well" flowers inside the house to share. This beautiful bouquet is from my husband's workplace, Schoolhouse Electric. It smells divine!

These beauties are from my husband.
