What's Blooming Now

 It's a lovely sunny day and I thought I'd show you some of what's blooming in my garden right now. 

I only have one Peony left and it's this white one with the dab of red in the centre. It has just begun to open and I'm so glad there are lots more buds.


 A few more Irises have opened.....My pictures don't do them justice.


 


 Every year I get told what this lovely spreader is and I promptly forget. It has jumped the edge and keeps right on growing on the cement (?). That's one of my tomatoes in the pot.

My Allium have grown so tall again. This is actually city property where I've made a flowerbed. Next to it is the gravel parking where the guys park their trucks.

The strange looking bulbs blooming beside them are nectaroscordum.  They also grow tall and some of them have curved stems. These two were the only straight ones.

In case you're wondering about them here's what the 'net has to say...

Nectaroscordum siculum (Sicilian Honey Garlic) 

This perennial exudes a strong garlic scent when bruised, hence its common name of Sicilian Honey Garlic. Easy to grow, undemanding and beautiful.

What's blooming in your garden right now?  I'd love to know.

 

Thanks for visiting

About Me

My photo
Granny Marigold
A journal of activities and thoughts where I write about my very ordinary life. I'm a wife, mom, and granny. I enjoy decorating my house for the seasons. I love flowers and most of the large city lot we live on is devoted to shrubs and perennials. I am fortunate to live close to a small lake right in the middle of the city and walk there almost every morning.
