Welcome to What’s Blooming this week! I am off to my Becoming an Outdoors woman today. Hopefully a dry outdoors woman.
A wet and rainy blooming time this week. Rain drops always make for some nice shots.
This is the giant clematis climbing up our porch. It’s called heliopsis and these will open into yellow lanterns.
My new annuals – dianthus:
Daylily. Next week will be a daylily bonanza!
Here is the garden from sidewalk level.
Note John in the background. This is the extent of any gardening he does – just looking at it.
One of my new cone flowers has a bud on it. This is the milkshake one. I can’t wait for it to open!
This is some lobelia. Very low growing, but such a pretty blue color.
My giant milkweeds. I let these grow on the south side of the house hoping that monarchs will lay eggs on them.
Have a great weekend!
Such beautiful flowers you have. It’s so much fun to see everything bloom and enjoy the vivid colors! Have a great weekend.
It looks beautiful Lori – I wish I had a green thumb, but plants come to my house to die. 🙁
Enjoy your weekend!
Have you ever thought of having a veggie garden?
If we had the space I would, but that front yard is pretty much all we have. Some day when we move to our permanent home – one requirement will be a large sunny lot!
Love seeing all your flowers. What is a milkshake cone flower? Mine are just purple 🙂
It is a new prototype cone flower. It’s double ruffled and white. I can’t wait until it blooms!
Once I was staying at a state park where Becoming an Outdoor Woman festivities were happening. The leader told me I was free to join but told my husband he couldn’t come, he looked too threatening and would intimidate the women! lol
I love your garden pics! I always send them to friends! 🙂
Hope you have a good weekend & a dry one too! 😉
Have a great weekend, Lori! I hope it’s nice and dry!
Oh Lori, you have THE most beautiful garden. (and the cutest house!!!) Have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks Roz 😀
Love all your colorful flowers, Lori! Does your garden have a peak time for blooming, or do different things bloom at different times?
Beautiful Lori! I prefer to do gardening like John: just looking at it 🙂 but R. and I both aren’t really enjoying gardening so we do it together to get it over with and then enjoy it by looking at it.
Have a great weekend my friend.
Beautiful garden! Have a great weekend!
I love those shots of the flowers with the raindrops on them. Can hardly wait for the milkshake. Oh, I mean milkshake flower lol.
Gorgeous flowers!!! Hope you are having a nice, dry weekend!
What a beautiful garden!!
gorgeous Lori!
