GBBD July 2014

The 15 th July has come really quickly . There are so many blooms in the July garden so here are just a few which are delighting me at the moment .   I have a new camera and I am adjudicate to get the hang of it so bear with me .

I think the stars of the garden are the lily and the former flowering Clematis .   My openhanded lily star at the moment is an oriental x cornet crossLilium‘Robert Swanson ’ .   It smells divine and it is really showy and comes back each year . I am also very affectionate of the trump lily ‘ Pink Perfection ’ and I have it growing with the wonderfulDiasciapersonatawhich I have indicate you in an early station . There are plenty of gorgeous clematis in bloom now so find fault a favorite is a problem   but I loveClematis‘Purpurea plena elegans’I will show you one more Clematis which I buy last year at Hampton Court Flower Show and I ca n’t remember its name . Please can anybody help me ? I spring up it with the David Austin turn out ‘ The Generous Gardener ’ which is really vigorous and level-headed . Other crampon which are at their best now include Jasmine ‘ Clotted Cream ’ It is fragrant of course and I love the color . The most fragrant climber isTrachelospermumwhich has the most heavenly fragrance . I have three of them and I love the picayune starry prime . Angie wrote about Summertime Blues in a recent post inAngie ’s Garden Diaries . There are quite a few true blue prime at the moment . TheAgapanthusare just follow out and they will be at their best in a workweek or two . Bluer than blue is the gorgeous metallicEryngium‘Picos Blue ’ . I have a admirer who does n’t care this . What ’s not to like?Platycodon grandiflorusare wanton from seeded player and you’re able to grow pinkish , blue or white unity . I love the pink but perhaps the adorable is the blue one . When you seem at the bud you’re able to see why they are called Balloon flowers . I loveAgastachefor the July garden . I have an apricot one calledAgastache ‘ Apricot Sunrise’ . My latest one is a pinkish one calledAgastache cana‘Heatwave ’ I be intimate it . It has lovely flowers , aromatic foliage and is easy from cuttings . I plantedScabiosa‘Chile Black ’ and ‘ Beaujolais Bonnets ’ a duo of long time ago . This year I am captivated to recover I have a whole grouping of them in various shade of dark pink and almost black . I showed my Angel ’s Fishing Rod;Dieramarecently . It just gets estimable and better . Whoops , I require to get my trug and numb head those roses .

There are plants that bloom now which I do n’t love so much but I am grateful for the colour they get . daylily are not my favourites and I have n’t plant any . But there are some in the garden and they are welcome .

I have never been keen on red Kniphofias but thisKniphofia‘Timothy ’   is lovely   growing with the whiteCampanula . Campanulas seed themselves all over the garden in blueness and White River . They are always welcome .

Another plant which has never been a deary of mine isHydrangea . But like CathyatRamblinginthegardenI loveHydrangea‘Annabelle ’ .

Hydrangea aspera’Villosa ’ is very unusual . It has immense felty pass on so it would go quite well in a tropic garden . I will finish with something very special . It is quite sturdy but I prefer to pamper it in a plenty . It isCodonopsisgrey - wilsonii‘Himal Snow’ . Thanks to Carol ofMaydreamsardensfor host this popular meme .

You DO have a lot of gems at the minute . The lily at the top of the post is so perfect it almost does n’t look real . The entering of your Agapanthus just as mine are decease is yet another sign of the difference in our 2 climate . Happy GBBD , Chloris !

What a spate of very interesting plants . I care best Eryngium ‘ Picos Blue ’ – such a rich colour !

prissy line with the unexampled camera ! So much to enjoy here , but my front-runner are the Agapanthus and the Eryngium . Love that spectre of blue .

Love the blue of your Eryngium , so beautiful . I ’ve never been favourable with Dierama , wish I could acquire them , but they vanish after one year ! You have so many beautiful flowers , this is a wondrous time of class in the garden .

Love the blues , purple and peach … they must look sensational next to each other … happy gbbd

Wonderful July garden — especially green-eyed of that codonopsis !

A most interesting and eye - catching regalia of July blooms Chloris . I ’m with Cathy in think that your clematis is ‘ Buckland Beauty ’ . I ’ve bring lily ‘ Pink Perfection ’ to my wish inclination 🙂

Well hello to another passionate nurseryman ,

What a beautiful bevy of blossoms you ’re portion out via May Dreams Garden . That diascia dancing through ‘ Pink Perfection ’ is the case of jazz group all of us are trying to attain , so congrats on the courteous pairing . jazz the bell - form clematis and I trust you see its name . But the prettiest of the bells that you should try is the atomic number 27 blue ‘ Roguchi ’ . Think it ’s my favored plant ever .
