Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, August 2015

Northeast Mississippi, USA, zone 7

I rescued this Butterfly Milkweed from the side of the road in June just minutes ahead of the Highway Department mowing machines   I am so pleased to see it blooming again.


Insects have been munching on my Coneflowers.


I was late planting the Sunflower seeds, but they are coming along beautifully.


Butterfly Bush, Buddleia


Phlox


I sowed a packet of Zinnia seeds, mixed colors. I think the pink ones are the prettiest, but I have yellow ones and white ones, too.

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

  2. Such pretty flowers but I think my favorite is the unopen sunflower. It's just waiting to burst through with gold.

  4. I love all your blooms. My summer phlox has given up the ghost for the moment but I'm hoping it will be back in the fall. Your butterfly weed is lovely. Thank goodness you were able to save it.

  8. I took in my milkweeds last winter and now they are blooming, they look just like yours. Your swallowtail butterfly looks just like the ones in my garden, though I suppose they are the eastern race. I wistfully enjoy your Phlox because the heat and drought seem to have been too much for mine. Lovely zinnias.

  12. Beautiful photo of the buddleia with the butterfly, and I also think pink zinnias are the prettiest – even though I don’t have any myself, but next year I will!
