Thanks Gypsi for your input on the Vitex. I\'ll have to be kinder to mine.

A few IL pix\'s to share. This is the only June Bloom thread, and I am so enjoying TX blooms. TX is a tad ahead of IL, it gives me a heads up on what is next to bloom. Your pink/purple loosestrife is in full force and mine is just thinking about setting buds.

Here are my yesterday\'s June blooms:

#1 I\'ve been a little disapointed in the red honeysuckle, but I think it is finally going to bloom after a couple years of just growing.
#2 My clematis are about through blooming. I like this one with the red streaks (Mrs N. Thompson). Camera didn\'t show the red streaks very well.
#3 My clematis with the most red (Niobe).
#4 I have a short row of calla\'s and the yellow are the favorite of what I have. I enjoyed the calla picture above!
#5 The blue cobalt salvia/mint is a favorite of the hummingbirds and it has been in the same spot here for years - a good hummingbird entertainer for me when glancing out the kitchen window.

Enjoying the gardening and lots of it.
