GARDEN BLOGGERS' BLOOM DAY-AUGUST 15


Hibiscus ' syricus ' -Rose of Sharon

Today is Korea's liberation day and the national flower, Rose of Sharon, blooms in celebration.

No flowers, just fruit on my Asian pear


Clematis 'Bee's Jubilee' repeat blooms

There's a reason why she's called ' Limelight '

  1. That rosy sedum is quite attractive. Do you by chance know the botanical name?

  7. I love those containers, they are so full and lush. Thanks for joining in for bloom day.

    (And I need to figure out what is going on with your feed and my Google Reader. For some reason I'm not getting updates on your new posts. I've missed a lot!)

  10. I'm having the same feed problem as Carol with your feeds. Your garden looks like it's been enjoying the cooler weather we've had this summer. Your containers are amazing & Limelight Hydrangea is blooming its head off. I'm going to have to find a spot for that one.

  11. Thanks Carol and MMD. I don't understand why you're having problems picking up my feed. Of course I'm not all that technical either.
