Another sunshine-filled day here. I did my usual morning walkabout looking to see what might need a bit of water to keep it alive. It's so very dry that I only spot water and even then I have to let some areas go.
I took pictures to remind me of what was blooming at this time.
Phlox are beginning to bloom. I used to have only pink ones then I bought a white one and through the years the white have taken over. I did buy a white/pink one last year and it is doing well.
Petunias in a container that gets water almost every day.
Carnations in a container.
Double Snapdragons
Postman's Pride Sedum with a Summer Savory growing between them and behind that a self-seeded Foxglove.
Actually found by a Belgian postman in his garden, this outstanding selection produces a bushy mound of dark purple succulent leaves.
A bit of trivia for today.....
The first day of July here in B.C. was 16 hours 11 minutes long. The last day of the month was 15 hours 12 minutes. We lost one hour of daylight and by the end of this new month we will have lost another hour and 37 minutes as we move toward the Autumn equinox which will occur on September 22.
