Middle of June - What's in Bloom?




The first hollyhock bloom, having reseeded in the middle of Aunt V's vegetables.

One tall and stately purple delphinium.

One perfect mellow yellow asiatic lily--don't know its real name.


Mostly, as seen in the background of those orange Mickey D. lilies, the hostas are sending up their blooming stalks and the Stella d'Oro (or Hemerocallis 'Stella De Oro') daylilies and the yellow 'Happy Returns' daylily and the other common orange one that grows everywhere in ditches were in bloom. These daylilies are so overplanted and prominent that I could not see past them to photograph much--they are almost like weeds around town. They definitely dominated the scene, along with the hydrangeas that were coming into bloom. I have one Annabelle hydrangea that has many blooms this year, in the middle of that poppy/ivy/hosta patch, now punctuated with some of my own bright orange asiatic lilies.
