Garden Blogger's Bloom Day: June '09

Mid-June here in central NC but you can't really tell by the rainy, cool weather... stepped outside earlier today and snapped a few pictures of what is blooming.



The first blossoms on a purple hyacinth bean vine.



Lavender.



Astilbe... kind of past its prime but still pretty, I think.



Sweet Impatiens.



Hosta.



Galliardia and a wee bit of Gomphrena globosa (globe amaranth),



Bee balm... mine is dark pink, don't know the species.



A different view from the porch of some lavender.


Hydrangea.


Nasturtium.



Sedum... just starting to bloom!



Gomphrena and Coreopsis verticillata.



Some (rather late?) Easter lilies... and a few asiatic lilies.

Rain everywhere, it seems, but it certainly makes your plants look very vibrant. Was interested to see your bergamot, since I'm thinking of putting one in. And the combination of the astilbe and the green foliage is stunning.
