Garden Bloggers Bloom Day from Linda’s east Austin garden!
This workweek , CTG bring together fellow gardeners from around the cosmos forMay Dreams ’ Garden Bloom Day!Here ’s a mere sample of what ’s blooming after two years of overrefinement - by - atmospheric condition in my east Austin garden . With our recent rain salvation , this poppy ( Papaver orientale)cupped its petals in gratitude .
Some early bird day lily are so thankful that they could n’t look to blossom forth .
peradventure they just wanted to link up the not so mellowed yellows of columbine ( Aguilegia chrysantha ) .
diminutive coinage tulip ‘ Tinka ’ is indeed mellow , a subtle one that naturalizes for us .
I make love the balloon of annual snapdragon .
aboriginal prosperous groundsel ( Packera obovata ) pops up from ground - embrace rosettes to get together oxalis ( Oxalis crassipes ) .
flossy spiraea stands tall against even taller and fluffier Lady Banks rose .
Self - seeded larkspur decided the yellows necessitate a touch of purple . Oh yes !
But I planted the Dutch iris , since I love purple . These turn back every year , flood , freeze , or drought .
Without a hard freeze this class , trail lavender lantana ( Lantana montevidensis ) feeds winter butterfly like crazy on tender days .
vernal Mexican honeysuckle ( Justicia spicigera ) stud it up with some complemental orange .
‘ Patrick ’ abutilon drip little lanterns of teamwork orangish and chickenhearted .
Native Texas blue supergrass ( Poa arachnifera ) adds a seeded player head texture to Bloom Day , along with the leaf ofArum italicumthat returns every winter in the shady spot under a mountain laurel .
Happy bloom day to you ! Linda
