July Flowers 2013

The joy of perennial gardening is to see each new wave of blooms come forth as the past one fades away. Now in mid July, the first wave of roses and even the hollyhocks recently posted have faded along with the first crop of lavender blooms. To replace them, the Russia Sage is now in full bloom in back and out front, the tall garden flox, taller than they've ever been, are strutting their stuff along with various lilies. The coneflowers and blanket flowers are blowing away the few daisies that remain. and the first little tomato is red, just waiting to give that burst of juicy pleasure.  Nasturtiums are hanging in there, waiting to adorn a salad and the zinnias are just beginning to take over their spot in the continuum.
The neet thing about posting here is that now I can roll through the different posts to enjoy compare the ever changing beauty of gardening.
