Garden Bloggers Bloom Day July 2025 and Wordless Wednesday

Is it already the 15th of July?  This year is rushing by and I just want to yell "stop! stop!".  It seems like fall will arrive in the next two or three days and, as much as I don't like the heat where I live in the Southern Tier, zone 6a, I like winter even less.  

And why is my Wordless Wednesday post on Tuesday?  

It's because today is the 15th day of the month, and it's time for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, brought to us by Carol at May Dreams Gardens.  On the 15th of the month we show what is blooming in our yards or homes.  And, my time is limited this week (meaning also that I may not get to your blogs right away, and I apologize).  So I can't do both a Tuesday and a Wednesday post.

But please stop for a minute, breathe deep, and admire Nature's beauty below. 

July, in my front and side yards, mean day lilies, and I have so many I can't even show you all of them. So first, some of my other flowers. 

Yellow loosestrife, which is trying to take my yard over.  A lot of this will have to be ripped out, alas.  Time and other priorities have made that impossible as of right now.

Sweet peas, which reseeded all over the flower bed.  These are also, shall we say, vigerous. 

Same for these cranebill geraniums.  Is there a pattern developing here?  

Bee balm.

Hosta.  I also have white blooming ones, but I didn't get around to taking their pictures. 

Onto the day lilies.  The names are buried in the mists of time (and, probably, my blog, but I don't have time to look.  And I have lots more but I don't want to overwhelm this blog.  Right now I don't have software for a collage.

I've had this one for many years.

My tallest one.

Possibly the one I've had the longest - possibly more than 20 years.

I love ruffled day lilies.

My one spider day lily.

Last, but not least. 

 

Besides Garden Bloggers Bloom Day (go to Carol's blog, link above, to see what others are posting) I am joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for her #WordlessWednesday.
