Garden Bloggers Bloom Day August 2025

(If you are looking for my Skywatch Friday post, please click here).

Today, I am joining up with Carol at May Dreams Gardens for her 15th of the month Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. 

In my zone 6a garden in the Southern Tier of New York, we are (I hope!) coming out of a dry and hot spell.  Some of these flowers look a little weary, and can't say that I blame them.

White and pink tall phlox.

Pink tall phlox.

One of my last couple of daylilies taking its last bow.  The season has ended.

My lantana doesn't seem to mind the heat.

This is a white hibiscus but this flower was opening up this morning and I decided to showcase its young pink color before it turns white.

Cardinal flower.

For several years, I've had some pink glads come up despite not being dug up.  This is the last one.

Finally, a couple more of my container flowers.

Fuchsia "Billy Green". which I mail ordered from Select Seeds.  I also have a fuchsia Annabell which is on strike this morning, but it has pretty white flowers.

Finally, two more from Select Seeds.  This one is cuphea Cherrybells.  There is a second one next to it, David Verity. which doesn't have many flowers on it right now.  We didn't have our hummingbird feeder up this year and, alas, I haven't seen any hummingbirds feeding off of either plant.

I hope these flowers brought some beauty to your world today.
