Balloon Flower - White

I love balloon flowers. I had to stop for a moment to think just how many balloon flower plants I have growing in my front and back gardens and I believe that there are seven plants. Only two of them are white balloon flowers.

I think they are a cheerful little flower. They really do look like a balloon when they develop, and they when they finally open they are bright and cheery.

Have you tried growing balloon flowers?

Baronne Prevost Rose

I’m showing off my royal roses and flowers this Sunday. One of my sites has a prince and another a royal purple flower.

This rose is called Baronne Prevost and it’s an antique rose with a lovely damask rose scent. I love old roses with their quartered sections. This rose just looks full with many petals but when it first forms the petals are divided into four sections and it’s just lovely.

I think I can almost say that the Baronne is growing into a short tree as it’s holding at about eight feet tall and each year it’s main branches get thicker and thicker. That’s a tree or a large shrub, right?

Phlox and black eyed susan

Phlox David - white Phlox flowers

My white phlox is just beautiful this year. The flowers are perfect.

Did you know that Phlox David has a light scent too? We grow this right beside our patio – it’s lovely to look at and when we catch a little of it’s faint scent it’s nice too.

Do you grow phlox? It’s an easy plant to grow.

Rudbeckia fulgida – Goldsturm – Black Eyed Susan

The black eyed susans grow right beside the phlox and it makes a lovely pairing when both plants are in bloom.

The phlox’ blooms will die off soon, but the black eyed susans will keep blooming pretty much until it starts to cool.

I’ve tried to pick a large variety of plants that bloom for either a long time, or rebloom several times through the season. I also have a lot of plants that bloom just in spring, just in summer and just in the fall so there’s always flowers around.

Stella’s a little wet

Yellow day lily

I decided to add this site to Green Thumb Sunday … You know I take a lot of photos – why not, eh?

This is a Stella Dora day lily. As with many of my flower photos these days I happened to take this while outside on a rainy day a couple of weeks ago. The petals are covered in water droplets.

I think everyone has Stella Dora. They might be a bit of a stereotype, but they are pretty, they re-bloom and they are easy flowers to grow. I have a few other types of day lilies as well and I enjoy each and every one of their blooms.
