Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day

The 15th of each month is Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day over at May Dreams Gardens.

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

A wildflower, Spiderwort, blooming in the rain. The other photos were made before the rain began.

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.

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

Foliage Follow-up and Good Fences

The Day after Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day is Foliage Follow-up Day

My Sedum is waking up from its winter sleep. The rain has been good for it, and now that the sun is shining it is leaping for joy!

And for Good Fences:

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day December 2017

Northeast Mississippi, USA zone 7

After our nighttime temperatures dropped to 21F (-6C) I was afraid I would not find any blooms. But I did - a wildflower blooming in the shelter of our porch!

Foliage Follow-Up Day

And when I checked the Hellebores, I found new growth - a promise of blooms to come!

Coleus, October 16, 2017

Foliage Follow-up, Macro Monday 2, and Ruby Tuesday Too

The 16th of each month (the day after Gardeners' Bloom Day) is for spotlighting foliage plants.

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA. October 13, 2017

Coleus can be grown in containers or in the ground, but they are not cold-hardy. Many leaf color combinations have been developed, giving gardeners almost any color they fancy.

They are very easy to grow, and thrive in shady areas.

To propagate Coleus cut off a few stems, put them in water, and they readily root, giving you new plants in a week or two.

Have a wonderful week!

1. Coleus

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, June 8, 2017

Coleus and Airplane Plant make a pretty combination on my front porch. (They are in 3 pots).

2. Canada Geese - Week-end Reflections

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, April 16, 2017

You may remember seeing this photo of four goslings on my blog in April.

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, June 12, 2017

Here they are two months later with their parents!

3. Guitars on Main Street

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA

The Elvis Presley Festival, held the first week-end in June in Tupelo, celebrates the music of Elvis Presley. There is lots of music, of course, but also a 5k run, arts and crafts, a pet parade, and tours of the Elvis birthplace.

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA

Two dozen (or more) metal sculptures, painted by school children, are permanent fixtures along Main Street.

4. Wildlife

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, June 14, 2017

We had an unexpected visitor on Wednesday - a Box Turtle.

5. Lantana - Floral Friday Fotos

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, June 13, 2017

A strange thing happened this week...
I was just walking along, minding my own business, when this cute little Lantana jumped off the shelf into my shopping cart and came home with me!

I hope you are having a great week!

Now on to the flowers

Burr rose

This beauty came from a packet of mixed wildflower seeds. I have two plants with 10 or 12 blooms on each one.

Buds on the Nandina! Colorful foliage all year and it blooms, too. What more could you want?

Foliage Follow-Up May 2012

Canna Lilies

Actually, Canna Lilies are not lilies at all. They are cousins to the Bananas and Gingers.

These grow very tall, and they will have reddish-orange blooms later in the summer

Looking straight down at the spiraling lines make me feel slightly dizzy.

Much better to look at the leaves from the side!

These are planted on a north-facing slope in part shade,

so the sun sometimes highlights individual leaves.

If anyone knows which Canna this is, please let me know.
