Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, September 2018

Northeast Mississippi, USA zone 7

And now a couple of non-blooming garden photos...

Beautyberry, Callicarpa americana, has tiny pink blooms in early Summer, followed by purple berries to add color to the Autumn garden.

The Black and Yellow Garden Spiders, Argiope aurantia, are welcome in my garden. They do not bite people, and they catch and eat the insects that like to munch on my plants!

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

  6. Pretty butterfly bush flowers. I am not sure it's the same everywhere, but in Oregon we have a list of approved butterfly bushes, the others are considered invasive! Not a concern buying from nurseries, but if one orders seeds, it's something I never thought about. And yours has a butterfly! A lot of my "butterfly" plants attract bees, but few butterflies. Maybe my neighborhood isn't butterfly alley.

  10. So pretty! I especially love your spider lilies. I've never grown them but one of these years I'll give them a try. They're such a bright and fresh late bloomer. Your garden spider is a beauty. Ours aren't quite as colorful but equally good at catching bothersome bugs.

  13. I love all those purplish-pink flowers at the top of your post but I'm really jealous of the Lycoris, a plant I've thus far failed to establish in my own garden. Happy GBBD, Lea!

  15. Happy GBBD! You have a lot of great things happening in your garden. We planted a butterfly bush last fall and I was underwhelmed this year. Hopefully if will look as good as your soon.

  18. What a beautiful butterfly photo! I am not familiar at all with that Turk's Cap. I am going to do some research.
