Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - June 2009


orchid - Angraceum dideri

orchid - Cymbidium Dancing Mother 'Kotone'

And now moving outside to the vegetable garden, we find this strange creature:

can you guess? it's a humble radish that I'm letting go to seed

a lovely pea that surprised me by seeding itself in a perfect spot

And now on to the ornamentals:

tea tree

yarrow

a geranium that grows like mad! It's 10 times bigger than it was last September when I planted it!

a sweet little pelargonium that blooms freely for a very long time

another reddish-geranium

hydrangea

marigolds...tomato protectors

Oooh your orchids are beautiful. Mine want to go live with you, they are dreadfully neglected. Love that pelargonium too. All the flowers are looking great, good job!

I planted seeds for a marigold exactly like yours, then after I set my seedlings outside it rained and washed away all my identifiers, so I won't know what's what till I get blooms. I know what the leaves look like, but I also planted a couple other things with similar leaves... I hope mine bloom soon and look as great as yours.
