Flowers From Week of 6/21/20

White foxglove in the wood line, don't have any idea where it came from, but it was thirsty so hooked up hose for that side of the house and gave it (and others) a drink

Couldn't even see the viewer when I took this picture from the ground

A couple of feet away I found this. Looked it up and it seems to be a red campion (yeah, I know, it is pink). Would never have guessed it was a campion since it doesn't look anything like my rose campion.

This ninebark has outstanding red flowers. Second picture is to highlight  some of the gold in the new leaves

I spied something that started with a P and an I behind the forsythia. Can't say I'm happy about it

But I was happy to see the clematis winding its way thru the repurposed lighthouse birdfeeder. You can see a tendril coming thru the middle hole

Still looking for rain. Got about 5 minutes of Friday but it wasn't enough to move the gauge. Heck, the ground was still dusty. The only way I could tell it wasn't my imagination is that the driveway was wet as well as under the dripline on the ramp. Maybe next week.

I'm singing P..... I.. for you. My singing, alone, should be enough to make it shrivel to its roots. Thank your bird friends for that one.

Such lovely, lovely plants in this posting and the one above.

BTW: The nine barks that I planted a few years ago are in full sun. I have been thinking about, next year, taking some of them out to give me space for more edible stuff (that's what happens when one removes the strawberry bed to make room for the roses that replace the roses that were yanked out in favor of more easily cared for grass.) Would nine barks do OK at the edge of the woods?

Our rain gage had 0.01" in it yesterday morning - and about 150% humidity.

I have nine barks in full sun, partial shade and mostly shady spots and they all seem to do well.

Thanks, Bogie. I now know where I'll plant them.
