Garden Bloggers Bloom Day: September 2017
Welcome to my Garden Blogger's Bloom Day! We've been having glorious weather that has been a touch cooler than normal. Even though it's still hot here, you can tell fall is right around the corner! I'm enjoying the cooler mornings as are the plants I'm sure. I am hoping that the cooler temperatures will lead so additional flowers.
The Cannas around the pool are looking great. they bloom all summer as long as you keep deadheading them. I feel like I'm constantly deadheading, but it's worth it. Their hot colors look great around the pool.
All around the pool things are still blooming. You can get a glimpse at some of these lovelies below. Its the Tropical Garden's second year and it's looking amazing. Can't wait to see how it changes over the years to come.
This hibiscus decided to put on quite the show. there's even another bloom on the other side being obscured by one of these beauties. Not exactly sure how we all missed this bindweed, but the flowers were so nice I decided to share anyway. I'm sure we've all missed a weed or two.
The Pereskia grandifolia is covered with blooms right now. It looks great in it's big blue pot. I can't believe all the pollen that is falling off all the flowers.
Our Turk's Caps plants are basically shrubs at this point. While they are amazing they are getting moved away from the pool to a more appropriate location.
The Black and Blue Salvias we planted this spring have also reached shrub like proportions. The bees are going bananas for them.
Not shocking, the butterfly garden is blooming up a storm. A good things since we've had plenty of visitors this month.
And of course we have daylilies! I am just amazed at the number of rebloomers we've had this summer. Pants that are not listed as rebloomer are blooming away. It's wonderful and weird.
'Spider Man'
'Across the Universe'
A polymerous 'Northfield' flower (count it's pettals
'Beautiful Edgings'
'Dale's Oh My'

Beautiful blooms! And I think we have the same Hibiscus.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you're enjoying your Hibiscus as much as we've enjoyed ours this year.
DeleteYour blooms are just glorious, especially those cannas and the hibiscus. We do have several plants in common - not surprising, I guess, since I see you are in the Dallas area.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI am surprised you have daylilies blooming this time of year. They must be late ones, so very pretty. Happy GBBd.
ReplyDeleteWe had our first daylily bloom on April 14th this year. We have one "late bloomer" that hasn't stopped all summer, but the rest are all rebloomers. They actually sent up a second batch of scapes.
DeleteWhat Lisa at Greenbow said! Your lovely daylilies in September make me jealous. Dallas must be very different from Austin.
ReplyDeleteIt is different, but not THAT different. It's been a weird year I think.
DeleteDaylilies this time of the year! Oh what a surprise. I love them and wish they would bloom longer. Thanks for letting me get a glimpse your yours.
ReplyDeleteHappy GBBD.

Thanks! We're big fans of the daylily here too.
DeleteRebecca, thanks for stopping by my corner of Katy! You've got some beautiful blooms up there in the metroplex and some fabulous foliage as well. Wasn't our recent cool spell delightful? My weather guru says we have another 10-12 days before the next front. I really don't want to wait that long!
