The Japanese Anemones are blooming. Although they are "September Charm" they invariably bloom in August. Being invasive they are in an area bordered by concrete!
We lifted then replanted the Iris last week. Now we've made a beginning dividing and transplanting Daylilies. This one looks very untidy right now.
I sowed more leaf lettuce and it's coming up. Looks like I need to do some thinning.
This mixed basket has bloomed all summer. Does anyone know the name of the blue flowers on the right?
We awoke to light rain this morning. Took our umbrellas along when we walked but soon the sun came out and now it's a lovely sunny day.
Thanks for coming by,

A group of Japanese anemones always looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteIs your blue flower one of the campanula family?
It's so good the rain didn't keep you from your walk, and the sun came out and made a pretty day. Pretty flowers make me smile! I'm smiling! :)
ReplyDelete"Lithotoma axillaris" - star flower - part of the Campanula (bellflower) family. I have some growing at the kids' garden! I love their ease of growth and care. I love your Japanese anemone - wish we had those around here! Your gardens are looking great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diana, for identifying my mystery plant..
DeleteSuch beautiful flowers fill your garden with so many different kinds.
ReplyDeleteI love Japanese Anemones very much! And all the flowers are in best hands by you! What a clorful life you have and celebrate!
ReplyDeleteI'm always interested in weather - thank you for writing about!
Lovely plants!!! 🥰😍😊 I am so glad you had a nice walk ... my love to you 💗
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoyed my time spent here, your flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know your mystery flower. Japanese anemones are very pretty as long as, like you have, you keep them corralled.
ReplyDeleteYour Japanese Anemones are so pretty. I doubt that there are many days from spring to fall that you don't have something blooming in your beautiful gardens.
ReplyDeleteThose Japanese anemones sure look like prolific beautiful bloomers, but I can see why you keep them contained! I need to work on my iris as well. Hopefully a project I'll get to this weekend. I also need to thin my strawberries too. My garden is really starting to produce, and that is exciting. I am glad you got a bit of rain, we need some too! Many blessings :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful plants. I'm glad someone was able to help you identify them. I would be NO help at all! We had a few drops of rain too, but just a few. The pavement wasn't even wet.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Such a beautiful basket, so pretty. Nice to get out for a stroll.
ReplyDeleteYou have some beautiful flowers. I am glad someone could tell you the name of the one flower.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful array of blooms there in your Garden GM -just lovely. Regards. KEV.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. I also have the Japanese anenome in the garden.
ReplyDeleteA walk is always wonderful, it's good that you set off in rainy weather ... you were rewarded.
Kind regards Viola
Your flowers are beautiful really wish i was as talanted in the garden as you are x
ReplyDeleteWow - Japanese anemones as invasives... I wouldn't mind being invaded by them! They were planted in my new garden, but either don't get enough sun or enough water, or maybe both. Anyway, several have died and the others bloom very little. :-(
ReplyDeleteI love those starflowers!
Such pretty flowers!! I enjoyed seeing them! We don't have them around here!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely is the Japanese anemones! They would be perfect to capture in embroidery!
ReplyDeleteI don't know the blue flowers (larger) on the right, sorry. I would love to know the name of the small blue flowers on the left, in that mixed basket. I had a whole hanging basket just full of those - a gorgeous mound of brilliant blue. It was amazing. It bloomed for a few months maybe, but the stalks got so very dry. I could tell the plant was too dry, in spite of watering. It looked spindly, so I cut it back, cutting off all the remaining flowers. It has not recovered at all. I'm wondering if I killed it.
