Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - June 2017

Geranium and sedum

After an inch of rain yesterday, my garden looks a little soggy but very lush. I'm thankful that this rain will delay the start of daily watering. I'm working toward less watering overall, but a lot of new bushes and trees means more watering this year.

Thanks to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for hosting this monthly roundup of blooms! June is the month for roses:

My blue/purple preference is showing:

Harebell

Aquilegia - this one plant has been blooming for months

Delphinium

Delphinium

Fuschias in hanging basket

But I do have a few other colors:

Mountain laurel, kalmia latifolia

Fireweed, fallen over in the rain

Salvia 'hot lips'

Verbascum 'wedding candles'

Zinnia, grown from seed

Coreopsis, if I remember right

What's next? These lovely hardy fuschias in the ground, and not hardy fuschias in hanging baskets:
