EVery BLoomin' THing: Early July-- EVBLTH

The flowers are really putting on a show right now.

The galidora/blanket flowers are blooming as are the coreopsis and marguerettes. The tall, medium and small shasta daisies have their white on. Plus the blue/purple perennials are blooming as well.

Many of the mums that weren't cut back are blooming too.

So far, no lousy Japanese beetles, but they will be here soon, usually late June or early July. Also, sadly, the crabapples received too much rain again and are starting to lose leaves for the second year in a row.

The redefined hosta garden at the west end of the arboretum is about finished. I just have to put out mulch and finish up work on the west end berm and then move the burn pile over by the berm (which largely covers it).

I still have three tall phlox and one salvia perennial to plant and am thinking of putting them in the gazebo flower bed once I get it thinned out as it is a bit overgrown now.
