Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - June, 2018

In the rose garden

June is the month when I start to take fewer garden photos. Maybe there's so much in bloom that I'm overwhelmed, or maybe I'm finally done with the frenzy of spring flowers. I think gardeners in this climate are excited about anything and everything in the spring, then we get pickier in the summer. But of course the garden continues to grow and bloom regardless of whether I take photos.

Thanks to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for hosting the monthly roundup of blooms.

June is definitely the month for roses, and their companions:

Lavender, roses and catmint

Last of the aquilegia - for now, they'll probably re-bloom

Delphiniums and hot lips salvia

Petunias in the flower garden

Cosmos

First dahlias

Clematis on the shed

Fuchsia 'Genii'

New cape fuchsia

On the (mostly) native slope: seaside daisies, thrift and harebell

Penstemon

Poppies growing in my weed pile

Coreopsis, a shockingly yellow color for my garden

There are so many plants getting ready to bloom, but I'm excited about the daylilies:
