GARDEN BLOGGERS' BLOOM DAY

Thanks to Carol at Maydreamsgardens
for starting Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day on the 15th of each month . These are but a few of my favorite things :



Flowers followed by fruit on my Asian Pear ree

Annuals for this year are Dianthus

One of the rare white blooms in my garden : Astilibe

I know, I know : It's invasive but I love Spiderwort

Pee Wee Oakleaf hydrangea

Peppermint Striped Geraniums

'Bee's Jubilee ' Clematis

Now that's what I call a planter !

Haven't had much time to spend in my own garden since this is my prime season for doing other people's. What a difference a month makes, especially since Chicago has been having the craziest weather ever - rain, humidty and extreme heat.
