Bloomfest in my garden for Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day!
After more rain in late calendar week than in the first four month of 2011 , my east Austin , Texas garden joyously observe Garden Bloggers ’ Bloom Day ! Daylilies keep coming , twenty-four hours after day .
‘ Patrick ’ abutilon ’s minuscule lantern light up part umbrageous slur near the house on this graceful evergreen bush .
Mexican blanket ( Gaillardia pulchella ) is one of my favorite one-year native wildflower .
PerennialCoreopsis lanceolatais another love that favors me with leaf all year .
Oh , but I ca n’t be pick favourite yet , because there ’s stone rose ( Pavonia lasiopetala ) , a shrubby perennial that blooms for month !
And groundcover winecup ( Callirhoe involucrata ) that sprawls underneath them and everywhere !
Shrubby graphite ( Plumbago auriculata ) sprawls a little too , but much taller , cooling us off all summer .
Native graphite ( Plumbago scandens ) is less aggressive but just as eager to perform , even in billet that get shade a pile of the Clarence Day .
Lemon yellow rosemallow ( Hibiscus calyphyllus ) is a dreamy plant in shade . It barely wants a speck of sunshine .
Nearby , shrimp plant ( Justicia brandegeana ) has n’t stopped blooming since we had such a soft winter . I did cut them back to shape , but they jumped right back in !
White oxalis is still out to get together heat lover Turk ’s chapiter that ’s already fertilize butterflies and hummingbirds again this class . The bees go for the wood sorrel .
Towering over us are fowl - seeded sunflowers , some 8′ tall ! In a few week , the birds will have picked them sportsmanlike .
nigher to the flat coat is sweet small rain lilyHabranthus robustus .
Although my coneflowers are going absolutely nuts , they do n’t equate to this view at theLady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center .
And all around townsfolk , check out these dark - eyed Susans ( Rudbeckia hirta ) .
That ’s only a sample distribution of what ’s go away on in my eastern United States Austin garden . Now it ’s time to thank dear Carol atMay Dreams Gardenfor showcasing gardeners from around the world on Garden Bloggers ’ Bloom Day ! Linda
