Well, the last daylily plant has just started to bloom, with only about 5 still in bloom.The second flush of glads have started to bloom, with more on the way since I planted several groups two weeks apart. There are a few roses blooming, but I see lots of little green buds that will bloom--probably in a few weeks. One of my favorite things in the gardens right now is the attractive dried allium and clematis seed pods; they add much interest to the beds. The white hydrangea, "Pinky Winky," will soon start to change colors--it 's long panicles will turn a beautiful pink, starting at the bottom, then gradually work its way up the bloom. The last of the lilies are out, and before long, their beautiful blooms will be a thing of the past--until next year. I've ordered some new lilies to plant this fall, as well as lots of daffodil bulbs. I've also been trying to find a good deal on some more crown imperial, which can be quite pricey. September promises to be more colorful, with dahlias, mums, more roses and glads. However, I am enjoying the lush patio plants and dark green grass knowing the flower beds will liven up in September.
