Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, July 2024

The 15th of each month is Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day over at May Dreams Gardens (see link below)

I am in the northeast corner of Mississippi, USA zone 7b

Two of my favorite plants bloomed in between Bloom Days. This Tiger Lily photo is from June 20th, and...

... this Hibiscus photo is from July 3rd. It is a bushy plant about waist high.

Now on to what is blooming today...

Althea, Rose of Sharon, is a small tree, Hibiscus syriacus

Burr Rose

Crape Myrtle

Turk's Cap,

Wisteria is a very invasive vine. It has to be cut back often to keep it from spreading.
