Mid-month snuck up on me, but a quick stroll with the camera through the gardens this morning produced some interesting sites to share on this July 2010 Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. Connecticut has had August weather – hazy, hot, and humid – in July.
Cool days and nights and overcast skies marked the first half of June in south central Connecticut. Nearly daily rain of some amount interspersed with heavy downpours and strong thunderstorms kept soils consistently wet. Pansies, loving the cool temperatures, still bloom. Ferns and mosses thrive in the nearly constant moisture. The peonies were glorious, but short-lived – just as the biggest blossoms opened wide rains pelted them down. The last of my peony blossoms will go by this week, but later blooming iris are coming on strong along with many other happy blossoms to show on Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, June 2010.
What a glorious time of year for New England gardeners. Early unseasonal warmth brought many blooms early – the lilacs are already done – but recent chills have slowed blossoms down a bit. My garden celebrates May 2010 Garden Bloggers Bloom Day – the brainchild of Carol at May Dreams Gardens - in my favorite colors.
Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day this April 15, 2010 brings full blooms and budding promises.
A few bulbs are showing off in my Connecticut gardens. A small bunch of iris reticulata are my current show stoppers.
