Can you blame me? Rumor has it there's a coachlight in there somewhere.
In other parts of the garden, bright yellow and orange brighten the rainy, cloudy days...
Lysimachia punctata, yellow loosestrife
Hemerocallis 'Stella d'Oro'. I know that "real" gardeners are supposed to sneer at these but come on! Look at that buttery yellow!
The northside garden, where the Asclepias tuberosa is in full bloom, the Penstemon digitalis is finishing up, and a bunch of other things are getting oh-so-close.
Coreopsis lanceolata
And it's not a flower, but a rabbit nest "bloomed" in the raised garden between the tomato and the cucumber while we (and the dogs) were out of town for the weekend. It was quite a work of art, a good 8-10 inches deep, and Mrs. Bunny somehow hauled in a soccer ball-sized wad of grass clippings for carpet and roof. You have to admire the savvy mama who made her home in a salad bowl.
Thanks, as always, to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for hosting Bloom Day!
