Some July Plants in My Garden


I have an impression that everything is blooming earlier this summer. 
These are some of the July stars in my garden.
A new poppy is in my garden. Thank you Peggy  for the seeds!
The plants are beautiful.





Most of my day lilies are peach-orange. Cathy, thank you for this one! It stands apart:

In the next two pictures, there is Orlaya grandiflora, biennial. 
Brian, a garden blogger from Kansas City, sent me seeds several years ago after I complimented his plants.
I like how nicely they fill the space between the other plants.


It looks good even after blooming:


Cala lily underside. The flowers are gone, but the leaves are lovely:


 Lobelia tupa is blooming. I showed it in a previous post.
This particular plant is pretty short, about 3 feet, and I like it.






 Monarda looks as if she just came out of the hair salon:


Hummingbirds love it:



This dark poppy's seeds were sent to me by one of the catalogs as a thank you for using my picture of tulips in a pot for their article:



Sempervivum is blooming:


Black and Blue Salvia:


Echinacea 'Milkshake' ovewintered and blooming: 



Balloon flowers are among my favorites:


Agastache  'Golden Jubilee' :



Himalayan Honeysuckle (Leycesteria formosa):


Lacecap Hydrangea 'Princess Lace':




Gunnera manicata has two blooms and is producing new leaves:





Rose Regensberg floribunda is a small thin bush with black spots on its leaves, but its flowers are lovely:


Astilbe has a new neighbor this year, Rose campion:


Hydrangea 'Oregon Pride' manages to keep its bright pink color in our acidic soil:


It looks like hostas bloom earlier than usual:



Geraniums in pots are ready to be moved where some color is needed:


Kale reminds me of an alien:




Euphorbia graminea will be the last in this post, but not the last in my July garden.



Have a great Sunday and week ahead!

    1. Donna, isn't it wonderful to watch hummingbirds? Although, one bird usually chases all the others away!

  3. Oh! those frilled poppies. I know how happy I am when one frilled poppy shows up among hundreds of singles. I do find the bees have difficulty with them favoring the singles. Gorgeous blooms and your photography is second to none.

  11. You have so many beautiful blooms! One can tell that loving hands have created your garden. Who would think to photograph kale and call it alien! I agree! I also like that your garden contains plants given to you from other gardeners.

  12. I'm just totally mesmerized by the colours in your garden.
    Just can't believe that these actually grow in the same world that we are both in.. LOL!
    They are totally out the world - in my point of view..
