Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, June 2020

The northeast corner of Mississippi, USA, zone 7b

There is nothing more pleasant than walking out in the garden in the early morning before the day gets hot and being greeted by a chorus of birdsong. It gets the day started off right! Feed the birds!

Now on to the flowers...

Linden Tree, Tilia.

Most of my Day Lilies have finished blooming, but I still have a couple to show.


I am sorry that I don't remember their exact names.

Spiderwort

Gardenia

One of my roses is putting on a second flush of blooms!

Phlox

And in the vegetable garden...
… Cucumbers!

And then there is this: a mushroom doing its impersonation of a flower bud opening!

But my prettiest blooms opened at the end of May, halfway between Bloom Days...

Have a wonderful week!

  1. Lea - Wow! Things are looking great down in Mississippi. We have a lot of birds in our garden this year. I love watching them from my kitchen window. I have learned they like oranges! I put out half an orange right by our bird bath in the morning. It does not last all day.

  3. So many beautiful bloomers in your garden right now, and that mushroom is interesting! The Spiderwort and Phlox are blooming here, too. We are just a bit behind you with the other plants--so much to look forward to. :) Thanks for sharing!

  9. Your daylily pictures remind me that I forgot to include mine in my Bloom Day post. Oh, well. Love the mushroom picture. I envy you your goldfinches since we only see them here during the winter.

  12. What a creative mushroom!

    I agree the best blooms happen between GBBD posts. I have thought of snapping pictures during the month but that seems like cheating. It is fun to see exactly how the same varieties of plants are blooming at different rates around the world. I will fight vanity and show the truth...or at least some of the truth.

  13. The first thing that caught my eye was the the daylilies were almost finished blooming. In my garden universe I am waiting for the lilies to start sending up scapes. I love the picture of the mushroom. And that thunderhead at the top of your blog is beautifully ominous.

  16. The 'pink' daylily is something special. Goldfinches have just arrived here, so they have not yet put on their yellow summer coats.
