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...

Now on to what is blooming today...

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

Turk's Cap,

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

"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

Asiatic Dayflower, Commelina communis, common name: Mouse Ears!

Wild Petunia, Ruellia humilis

The American Beautyberry, Callicarpa americana, is a shrub that has clusters of tiny blooms in the Summer. Each bloom will produce a beautiful purple berry in the Autumn. Food for birds!

Speaking of birds, if you want Hummingbirds to visit your garden, hang up a few Hummingbird feeders.

For Saturday's Critters: I think this is a juvenile Ruby-throated Hummingbird.

My Wax Begonias are blooming very well this Summer.

I take them indoors in the Winter, then hang them on my porch when the weather warms up again.

.

Sedum, Stonecrop

Marigolds

Hibiscus

Althea, Rose of Sharon, Hibiscus syriacus, is a small invasive tree (or a large shrub).

I saved my prettiest bloom for last: Tiger Lily!
