I have three colors of Althea, Rose of Sharon. This is Red Heart.
My white Althea has only a few blooms.
And I have a half-dozen Althea shrubs with this pink-red color combo.
The Crape Myrtles are just beginning to bloom.
Phlox
Turk's Cap
Burr Rose
The Red Geranium on my front porch is just beginning to bloom again.
For a look at things to come...
... buds on my Encore Azalea!
Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

Beautiful, Lea.
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms. I have the Turk's Cap for which I am very thankful because nothing - not even the searing heat of our summers - discourages it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms! My mother-in-law used to grow Rose of Sharon, and I loved it. I wish I could grow Crape Myrtles, but I'm about two zones too cold. I certainly enjoy them when we travel slightly south in the summer. Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteThe colours and variety are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteNice colorful blooms. I like the Turk's cap.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms! I am loving the crepe myrtles. Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your Rose of Sharons, your Crepe Myrtle (which, as you know, I love so much), and could wish we had reblooming azaleas here. The Burr Rose looks so much like a carnation, but, to the best of my knowledge, are not hardy in my zone 5b climate. Sigh....
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the Althea. There's one growing in the botanic garden 5 miles from my home so maybe I should try growing it here, although I'm guessing it needs a lot of water. A belated happy GBBD, Lea!
ReplyDeleteOh Lea...your blooms are all so pretty and I especially love your Burr Rose and Crape Myrtle. Ours were delayed a bit but are now in bloom after Bloom Day! Be well and enjoy the rest of your summer!
