Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, May 2024

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

I am in the northeast corner of Mississippi, USA zone 7b, and I am glad I made these photos a day early. Yesterday afternoon we had heavy rain with pea-sized hail!

I found this Peruvian Lily, Alstroemeria, on the discount shelf. It had a couple of broken stems and was marked down to almost half-price. A real bargain!

I bought 24 Marigolds. I have planted some, and hope to get the others set out today.

Spiderwort, a wildflower that I dug up off the side of the road several years ago.

Another wildflower, Butterflyweed

The Burr Rose got its name because the buds have tiny spines like a burr.

My mother called this type of Running Rose "Seven Sisters" because the blooms grow in clusters.

There are still a few blooms on the Kerria Japonica shrub.

These Begonias are in a hanging basket on my porch.

I have had this Clematis vine for many years.

This tiny butterfly, a Gray Hairstreak, posed for me while I was getting photos of the blooms, so of course, I have to include it! I am not sure of the name of the small wildflower in the background, but that makes it a Bloom Day photo, right?

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:3-5

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, April 2024

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day (the 15th of each month) and My Corner of the World

The northeast corner of Mississippi, USA zone 7b

My White Dogwood trees are full of blooms, but...

...my Pink Dogwood tree has only a few.

To me the blooms of the Sweet Shrub, Calycanthus, smell like apples.

The tubular blooms of the Buckeyes attract Hummingbirds!

Kerria japonica is a very sprawling shrub. I will trim it back after the blooms fade.

Coral Honeysuckle is another Hummingbird favorite.

This double Clematis always blooms first. Hopefully by next Bloom Day, the others will be blooming.

Mayapples, Podophyllum peltatum, are native wildflowers that grow in open woodlands in the eastern half of North America.

The umbrella-like leaves hide the small flowers underneath. I bought two plants in 2016. They multiply by underground rhizomes, and now I have about two dozen plants.

The bees are enjoying the White Clover!

Another native Wildflower, Lyre-leaf Sage, Salvia lyrata

Butterweeds have hollow stems and thrive in damp soil.

An aptly named tiny wildflower: Spring Beauty

Star of Bethlehem is an imported plant native to Europe and North Africa.

And indoors, an Amaryllis!
NOTE: It is more red than the orange color it appears to be in this photo.

Hedge - a very invasive shrub, but beautiful when it blooms.

A Running Rose that climbs on everything except the trellis that I want it to be on!

And yes, my Tomatoes are blooming, too!

For a look at things to come: an Amaryllis bud in a pot on my front porch.

Clematis

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, May 7, 2023

Clematis Vines come in many different varieties. I am sorry I do not remember the name of this one.

I hope you are having a good week!

Another wildflower, Butterweed, likes moist soil, and we have had plenty of rain this Spring!

Wild Violets

Most of my Daffodils bloomed last month, but there are still a few of these that make two blooms per stem.

 Hellebores

Red Buckeyes are shrubs that attract Hummingbirds.

Clematis

In memory of the time when Foliage Follow-up was the day after Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day: the leaf of a Tulip Poplar Tree waiting to unfurl.
