Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day June 2018

In the northeast corner of Mississippi, USA zone 7

Purple Coneflower 'Pow Wow Wild Berry'

Butterfly Milkweed Asclepias tuberosa

Hydrangea

White Bleeding Heart Vine, Clerodendrum thomsoniae, is hardy in USDA zones 8 - 11.

I grow it in a flower pot so I can take in indoors in the Winter here in zone 7.

Peace Lily - Also grown in a pot so it can go indoors in cold weather.

Day Lily

My Butterfly Bush, Buddleia, was slow to form buds but it is blooming steadily now.

The dwarf Butterfly Bush 'Soda Pop White' that I bought last year is just beginning to bloom.

My Japanese Magnolia has blooms in its topmost branches. I have heard this small tree referred to as Tulip Magnolia and Saucer Magnolia. I have had it so long, I have forgotten exactly what the plant tag said.

For foliage as pretty as a flower: Strobilanthes, an easy-to-grow annual for part sun / part shade.

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

  4. Do you get loads of butterflies attracted to your buddleia? When I had one it was often covered in them, something-else I must put right in my garden.

  10. White bleeding heart vine. So beautiful. We are not quite yet at daylily season but it will be here soon. I also grow purple shield and I love it so. It barely comes back after wintering in my home, but I had a bonus this year - an oxalis that did die back, but came back when I put the pot out after our last frost date.

  15. I love your butterfly bush. Mine died when a tree grew large and over-shadowed it. It has become a common theme in my garden. It is changing from a sun to a shade garden and I don't want to dig everything up and move it!

    I also love all the other blooms. Thanks for sharing on GBBD.

  16. I love my Persian Shield, which will have to be brought in tomorrow night as we may have a frost (more certain this time). I've never seen white bleeding heart vine (and it would't be hardy where I live in upstate New York); beautiful!
