I shared a number of the Day Lilies now in bloom, but there are numerous other flowers adding their colour to the garden. Indeed, this is about the most colourful time in the garden all summer long.
Mrs. F.G. usually picks something new to grow every year, and this year she decided to grow Geraniums from seed. The effort was a great success and after planting the seeds very early, like January, the flowers were ready to plant out in spring. Since then the Geraniums have added lots of colour, especially at the front door.
The white daisies are now blooming.
We've still got some nice bright colour from the Maltese Cross.
Our red rose is blooming madly and our light pink one is also now in flower.
We have a few Cosmos blooming, with those tiny thin stems that serve as 'leaves'. These flowers will last through into the fall.
And now the first of the Echinacea are flowering. These pink ones are the most common variety, and spread through the garden easily, but we have them in several other colours. These dominate our garden through into the fall.
Today I'm looking out the window at very thick yellowy clouds and the house is very dark. It's smoke from the wildfires in north-western Ontario, taking our usually good air quality down to the worst in the world today.
We have echinaceas in profusion. They keep spreading, and I am actually beginning to contemplate removing a few.
