It's the 15th of the month and I join today with Carol at May Dreams Gardens for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day.
In my zone 5b Southern Tier of New York garden, I wonder where spring has gone. So many of my blooms are annuals I have in pots and hanging baskets. But I do have a handful of perennials blooming right now.
My early daylilies.
Everbearing strawberries, one which has light pink flowers (top) and one that has dark pink flowers. These are grown for the flowers although the small fruits are edible and are delicious-if I can beat the birds to them.
Catmint.
I'm going to cheat a little and show you a picture of my meadow rue. A storm damaged it - this is from a few days ago.
Moving on to the annuals. I'm going to try to keep this short today. Of course, "short" has a lot of interpretations....
These are "wave" pansies. Never heard of them until this year. The flowers seem to be smaller than regular pansies. These are supposed to be the pansy equivalent of wave petunias. They've already survived some short heat waves.
Violas. The purple ones (or should I say "one" because I think there was only one plant left at the end of winter) I overwintered inside.
Petunias. "Bee's Knees" yellow and black (actually, dark purple) in the back.
More petunias, red and purple.
Million bells in two baskets.
These are a cross between petunias and million bells. I love the color of the flowers. This is a first for me, along with the wave pansies.
Variegated geranium mixed in with some scented geraniums. I have a number of geranium baskets, but I don't want to overwhelm you.
So here's another orange geranium for you; one I overwintered successfully.
Lantana rounds out the sun garden.
In the shade garden, the astilbes have flower stalks up, as does one of the several types of hostas we host, but we are mainly between blooms, now that the columbines are done. So, here are some fuchsias.
Finally, one other fuchsia.
In addition to Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, I am joining Sandee from Comedy Plus for her Wordless Wednesday.
See you July 15 for flowers, and next Wednesday for another episode of #WordlessWednesday.
...I like your fuchsias.

ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see your side of the country in bloom! / Carol C
ReplyDeleteNice daylily. Mine are still buds, except the ditch lilies. That meadow rue is so fluffy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms. This post made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
What a fabulous collection of flowers. That called cat mint it's new for me. This kind of place is full of joy!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW and a fine week!
My peonies are beautiful, but I fear that today's heat will be the end of them.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are lovely. I am glad you named the Lantana because I have some in my garden but didn't know what they were.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! I need to get some annuals to maingle with the perrenials! BY the way- I am sure I have told you this before- BUT your blog comes across as insecure when I bring it up. The only way I can browse your blog is by inserting the following: https:// This is place directly in front of your url. Have a fun day with the flowers.
ReplyDeleteKathe, thanks for the comment. When I look at my home page, it has the https://with the lock in front of them. Because I have no control over what Blogger (my platform) does, I can't control why it is coming up as not secure for you. I'm sorry you are having problems - at least you found a workaround. This is the link I copied directly from the URL of this post in my browser: https://ramblinwitham.blogspot.com/2022/06/garden-bloggers-bloom-day-june-2022.html
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am especially fond of Petunias and Pansies.
Lots and lots and lots of flowers. Very nice.
