Today is Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day! Each month on the 15th day, rain or shine, bloggers from around the world take pictures of everything blooming in their gardens, and showcase it for everyone to see. You can go on a little virtual garden tour by visiting Carol over at May Dreams Gardens. Be sure to add your blog to the list!
Here is what’s blooming in my yard, more or less.
coreopsis, delphinium, sage, society garlic, bachelor’s buttons (pink, purple and blue), Ruellia, honeysuckle, lantana, lilies, agastache, guara, cucumbers, tomatoes, salvia black and blue, heuchera, basil, nasturtium, and verbena. (all pictured)
I have some pretty nice looking foliage, too:
I am just so darn happy that my Swiss Chard is finally growing!
Happy Bloom Day!

It’s nice that you added some foliage, too (not that I’m tired of seeing the blooms!) Enjoyed my visit.

Your photos remind me that I really *need* to get me some honeysuckle!

Looks great! Ooh, I think I need some purple bachelor’s buttons, I only have the blue ones with an occasional pink or white mutant. Nice coleus too!

I love the red coleus; I don’t suppose you know the cultivar?
