June 2018
As the month went on, here are my flowers.
Double clematis — a sweet friend that moved cross-country gave me this cone-shaped trellis with branches and birds. I bought a double clematis last year for it. This is the first year for blooms! The stems on the clematis are so fine; less than a pencil lead. I’m glad it survived the winter.
My striped iris are at the front porch. The leaves are striped. I need to divide these after blooming.
White poppies at the front of the house. Love them when they bloom. They are ugly the rest of the summer. Advice?
My old familiar clematis in dark purple. I see this out my kitchen window. Last summer it got in an accident with the weed whip! 😦 I’m thankful it came back!!
I have cheap trellis!!
Last year MIL gave us a double hollyhock plant. I keep this one and one other that grows between the basement windows but pull the others. Oh my word… weeds!
This one gets tall enough to peek in the kitchen window. Takes me a few days to get used to it when I catch it in my peripheral vision!
Last year’s after-Easter sale on lilies! I planted them and am THRILLED they came forth with blooms!! (over my birthday, too!) I think they multiplied over the winter. Yummy!! I put more out this year in another area.
and sew on...
