A couple of weeks ago, I posted some pics of my garden. The clematis was blooming and the roses were just starting. Two weeks have gone by... and the roses are in full bloom and the coreopsis has added a real splash of color too. Thought I would post a few pics and update you on how the garden is evolving.
Do you remember the carpet rose that had one single bloom on it last picture post? Well here it is now.
It is a mass of blooms. In front of it is some blue spires of Salvia.
In the main garden, the red centranthus has yellow coreopsis to contrast with and suddenly the place is alive with color! In the background on the gateway arch...the coral blooms of American Beauty roses add yet another color dimension.
In the far corner, the hollyhocks have spires of unopened buds... about to burst forth.
One lone hollyhock bloom has opened up. Later there will be peach, and pink, and yellow. All reaching for the sky.
It's not all about flowers though... check out these "Super Fantastic" tomatoes. They will be ripe by the Fourth of July.
Closer look at the sunshine yellow of the coreopsis. In the center of this main garden area... are purple coneflowers. They are just a few weeks away from blooming profusely too.
Just another view.
I will leave you with a closer look of the coral roses growing on the garden arch.
The colors of summer... brilliant yellows, reds, coral, blues, and purples. Next will be the addition of the hollyhocks, the purple liatrus, the purple coneflowers, soft pink baby's breath, and the white obedient plants.
Just thought I would update you on how the garden has changed. Never ceases to amaze me how it transforms from week to week.
