In the front: The weigela flowers are almost gone. The spirea are still in full bloom. There are a few stella o'doro day lillies in bloom. The daisies have buds as well as the veronicas. I need to trim the veronicas in half because they are too leggy.
On the south: The catmint still have blossoms on them although some are fading. I have many lollipop lilies in bloom.
In the back: the clematis are still blooming. The Julia Child has blossoms and buds. However, the storm was hard on it and I need to trim some leafless and some broken branches as well as expended flowers. The Wild Blue Yonder is in full bloom. The Queen Elizabeth is doing well; even the Moon Dance seems to be growing a little. I haven't trimmed the columbine, candy tuft or bleeding heart yet. The cheddar pinks are now finished blooming, however, the coreopsis is in bloom and there are buds on the lavender. The peonies still have some blossoms on them, especially on the north side where they were planted last year. The honey suckle vine is in full bloom.
Something interesting is happen with the dogwood. The white blossoms have dark pink streaks in them. It's all very interesting.
The trimming Wayne did on the trumpet vine has really made a difference in the growth. More of it is growing over the bare spot on the top. I can forsee the time when the whole top is covered in deep vines, which will make perfect shade for afternoon sitting. Now if we can just keep it contained to the arbor.
