It's another Garden Blogger's Bloomday, #9 for 2015 with only 3 more to go! As always our hostess for this floral celebration is Carol at May Dreams Gardens - she's got the links to all the blogs participating. Here's what's blooming in my garden...
Abutilon megapotamicum 'Red'
Which is actually orange.
Abutilon Nuabtang
Which is supposed to be a coral-peach, but is obviously yellow.
Anigozanthos 'Amber Velvet'
Which is, thankfully, the orange color I was hoping for.
Artemisia versicolor 'Sea Foam'
Not quite flowers yet, but looks like they'll be yellow (of course).
Alstroemeria isabellana pushed out one more stem of blooms. You can see green seed pods at the top of the photo, and a little further down the empty bases where ripe have pods launched themselves free.
Begonia luxurians
Calamagrostis brachytricha, not planted by me, but there it is...
Chasmanthium latifolium
Clematis tibetana var. vernayi, lots of buds...one aging bloom.
Where blooms used to be...the once vibrant and glowing Colutea arborescens seed pods are now crisp and papery.
Echevaria nodulosa
Grevillea 'Austraflora Fanfare'...I see thrill seekers with yellow caps riding on a speeding toboggan. What do you see?
Grevillea 'Peaches and Cream'
I can stare at these complex flowers forever.
Still Grevillea 'Peaches and Cream' but without the peach.
Hesperaloe parviflora 'Yellow'
Hesperaloe parviflora
Sedum x 'Autumn Joy' (the blurry variety evidently)
Indigofera amblyantha - horrible photo! But I wanted a record of it blooming in my garden and so this is what we get.
Hibiscus syriacus 'Red Heart'
It just doesn't want to stop blooming.
Schefflera brevipedunculata
Schefflera delavayi, this one reminds me of the patterns sparklers would make in the dark when my brothers and I would wave them around on the 4th of July.
Loropetalum chinense var. rubrum 'Hindwarf'
Tradescantia pallida 'Purple Heart'
Lots of tiny, hard to photograph, flowers on these plants.
x Fatshedera lizei ‘Annemieke’...not really open to flower stage yet, but what the heck, any excuse to share that gorgeous foliage...
