Happy GBBD! I still can't believe it is June! Where does the time go? We have had a lot of rain here in Austin lately and things are blooming like crazy! The butterflies are flying around, bees busy working away, hummingbirds zipping around- it has been wonderful! Here are a few photos of things I felt stood out lately.
The Gomphrena have such a bright cheerful bloom!
The butterflies have been all over the Gregg's mistflower. Too pretty!!
Ice Cream anyone?
The Butterfly Vine- old standby. Love the intricate almost lace like blooms.
The Vitex never disappoint. Tons of color! So pretty - they are blooming all over town!!
The Charity Mahonia are nice though approach with caution- they are spiky!!
The Pedlianthus are loaded with the Lady Slipper blooms, hence the more common name.
These little guys are all over the place. So sweet.
The verdict is still out for me on the purple Jerusalem Sage.... Can't decide.... I think I prefer the yellow. Just a bit too subtle for me I think.
The Agastache. If only this were scratch and sniff....... adore this plant.
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! Where does the time go?!?! A special thank you to May Dreams Gardens for hosting the GBBD! Visit her blog to get a glimpse of what is blooming all over the world! Enjoy!
