June Blooms (Starting May 30th)

One view of my garden.

Another flowerbed

And another one

A hydrangea. Don't know the name.

A perennial rootbeer plant. When you crush the leaves it smells like rootbeer.

Leopard plant

Does anyone know the name of this Iris? I got it from my grandmother's yard years ago and I think it is a Louisiana Iris.

Jackieshar ~ what a microclimate you must be in... my plants are well behind yours. No soapwort blooms here yet but thanks for sharing yours.

Pretty blooms& beds Bobyrd! I am not much ID help but I would say yes, that appears to be a LA iris, are you still enjoying its' blooms. Mine is done.

scadoxus

WOW Debbie! That's an amazing bloom!

thanks Stepanie and its not even open all the way yet
=)

Podster,

No, mine has finished blooming too. It was done in April. I have some others that I planted several years ago but they have yet to bloom. I don't know what is wrong with them. Maybe I need to move them to another location. They are under trees and only get afternoon filtered shade.

Placenciarita,

I really like your alliums. Did you start them from seeds? If from plants where did you get them?

Bonnie

New today is one of my brand new daylilies, Silver Ripples. The Esperanza in the background has started blooming like crazy as well.

Pod..I don't think it's my climate.....most of east Texas has acidic soils. That's why the dogwood, azaleas, magnolia, gardenia, peony, pines, and so many other beauties will grow there and not here in my alkaline soils........We gardeners just have to learn to work with what we have and like it....I can amend with 2 cu ft of peat moss and still the water is so alkaline it defeats the purpose...........

bobyrd, I bought the allium drumstick at Bloomingbulb.com. They have one named Hair that is very weird.

abelmoschus manihot

ornamental variegated pepper

Erythrina crista-galli

placenciarita, I am also intrigued by the alliums. Even the Hair. I think I might order. What do you think of the one 5 feet high and 10 inches round!
Beautiful blooms everyone. I am delaying the trip into weedland.

banana18, were you refering to the Squill bulb, I did buy one but it is just sitting there, doing nothing.

sorry wrong answer. Wrong bulb (I am a goober), but I do intend to buy a few giant bulbs this fall.
I do not know how to delete pictures.

Rita, I grew up in Red Oak, so I'm constantly trying to figure out where your place is so I can see it in person! I'm not a psycho, just a plant nut! Your garden is extraordinary!!

Dayflowers in the morning.

Daylily 'Pandora's Box' I got from Bananna18

My first Datura bloom.

A bit blurry but this is my very first bloom ever on Scrophularia macrantha- Red Birds in a Tree.

Daylily 'Peach' I got from Mitch

Russian Sage in front of Oleander

My NOID daylilies are putting on a show today!

Then there's this one that FINALLY opened all the way today! I think it was because of the cool temps we had yesterday.

I'm starting a 2nd page since this one is getting too long.
