Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – October 2022

Drought? Heat? Bean beetles? Chipmunks? Oh, never mind all that. Everything is forgiven and I am back in love with my garden right now. It’s all just lovely and I have spent way too much time wandering around with my camera recently. Trying to whittle a ridiculous number of images down to a Bloom Day post has been a real challenge, but I think I’ve managed it. Join me for a tour of this month’s highlights, starting with some of the remaining beautiful blooms.

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – August 2022

The summer continues to be dry here in southeastern PA, but we are finally getting a break from the heat for a bit—a blessing for which the garden and I are very grateful. It’s amazing to see how well many of the plants are holding up, considering the tough conditions they’ve been through. Despite the challenges, there’s still plenty to see, so let’s get started!

Garden Bloggers Bloom Day – June 2022

It hardly seems fair to have just one Bloom Day a month at this time of year, when so many beautiful things are coming into flower ever day. I’ve done my best to pick out a variety of highlights, but as usual, there’s a lot to see, so let’s get started! Oh, by the way, the image above is one of my favorite scenes this time of year; it includes Carthusian pink (Dianthus carthusianorum) and rose campion (Silene [formerly Lychnis] coronaria).
