Golden Celebration, its really nice and the scent but prone to blackspot

Rocky Mountain Penstemon. It's a first-time bloomer in my garden.

Awesome! My neighbor has one and a few young trees popped up in my yard last year so I dug them up and planted them where I wanted them. I love the shape of their leaves.

Ok, this is the third "corner" of the USA in about six weeks for me. I doubt I'll make it to the Northeast anytime soon, but who knows. So far this year I've been able to post pictures from Malaysia (clearly not a corner of the us, in case clarification was needed), Alaska, of course Florida, California and these are from the valley isle of Maui, Hawaii. Probably get dinner better ones in the coming days, but I thought these were rather stunning.

Found these in the bottom of a berry patch that I thought the bunnies had destroyed. My regular blackberry bushes had the roots chewed by voles so no berries this year from those.

the patio is potted-and feeling the effect of this year's copious amounts of monsoon conditions.

My bedding petunias and acorn squash were set back a bit from a cold snap a week ago but they seem to be growing again.
I am pleased that I bought a couple packs of Opera petunia seed last fall.
Only one opera plant in these baskets.

My yellow rose of Texas is about to go into bloom, no sign of leaf hoppers yet. They tend to ravage these rose leaves if I don't hit them every few days with a hard water spray.

My red velour petunias, three plants per basket. Should be stunning when they are hanging five ft down.

Scarlet runner beans and petunias, I didn't feel like filling the veggie trug with potting soil this year.

I quickly snipped some of my Iris flower stalks yesterday before the storm and have them on my piano now. Usually storms make the flop over but as you can see no floppers, I could have left them alone.

The petunias on my ladders are from cutting I took, they will be in their full glory when the basket petunias are getting sorry looking and need their late July trimming.
