Crocosmia \u201cLucifer\u201d is almost trite at this point, it is so heavily planted and does so well here in Seattle.\u00a0 But it is one of those clich\u00e9s that you can totally enjoy yourself even though you know all the neighbors have it, too.<\/p>\n Not sure if this was a hover fly, but it acted like one\u2026next to the Orchard Garden buzzing around the weeds, mostly.\u00a0 How generous of me to leave so many weeds for insects to enjoy.<\/p>\n Daylily pics from the perennial bed next to the Orchard Garden.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not sure which salvia this is, but it is a volunteer with me and never disappoints.\u00a0 It has big, handsome leaves and these intricate stems of flowers.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t have any of the big-flowered clematis, but I have some smaller flowered summer bloomers, including this purple one on the trellis outside the front door.<\/p>\n Voodoo lilies always impress me with their exotic, giant blooms.\u00a0 The smell is dead meat, but not super strong, and the plants are fascinating.\u00a0 They love the climate here in Seattle and they spread.\u00a0 Also, they set seeds and the seeds will come up pretty easily, too.<\/p>\n Aruncus (Goat\u2019s Beard) blooming in the Douglas Fir Bed.\u00a0 These are excellent, hardy perennials that get about four feet tall and bloom wonderfully in summer.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve posted pics of these Cheddar pinks before, but they continue to bloom, smell spicy and look great.<\/p>\n Some roses in the bed in front of the greenhouse.\u00a0 Top in Bonica, bottom is Collette, and I\u2019m not sure about the one in the middle, but it is a lovely, unusual shade.<\/p>\n The giant Echinops ritro in the bed in front of the greenhouse is setting buds.\u00a0 This big perennial will reach four feet or more with metallic blue thistly flowers.\u00a0 I grew this from seed about seven years ago and now it seeds itself around the veggie gardens, so I pot them up or move them around.<\/p>\n A white mullein (Verbascum hyb.) that seeded itself in the greenhouse bed.<\/p>\n You can see feverfew, rose campion and the big echinoops behind, with Bonica blooming inside the echinops.<\/p>\n Lathyrus sativus is one of the seedlings from the lathyrus mix that I started in winter.\u00a0 The plant isn\u2019t much to look at, but the flowers are stunning.<\/p>\n The Buddleia on the neighbor line next to the Orchard Garden.\u00a0 I have three colors of butterfly bush there, including this one that blooms first.<\/p>\n \n<\/p> <\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Below are some pictures of plants in bloom right now: Feverfew is a volunteer that I love\u2013I move them around and make sure they have a home somewhere I can enjoy them.\u00a0 They are easy to grow, smell good and bloom like crazy!
