Mid-June Garden Highlights
By mid-June the flower beds, rockeries, borders, and featured areas are full of flowering plants. We are busy every day with gardening tasks – weeding, deadheading, supporting plants, fertilizing, watering, and landscaping. We take the time to appreciate the plants and enjoy the gardens. A few images taken by the author are shared here. Can you match these to their photos? Click an image for a lightbox view and a caption.
In this gallery are columbine, painted daisies, lupins, daylily, cranesbill, speedwell, soapwort, dianthus, rockcress and kinnikinnik.
Some lesser known flowers are featured in this second gallery – bitterroot (one a cultivar and one a native transplant), Okanogan fameflower (a native transplant), Idaho blue-eyed grass (a native, but this is a cultivar), baby blue eyes, and anchusa (alkanet).
We will feature garden plants and galleries all summer, posting every two weeks. Thanks for visiting.
