Hot and blooming

 

The coleus is bolting...so I've put this planter in a shadier spot. 

My over-wintered geraniums are still giving slightly feeble looking flowers, but they make up for it by being abundant.


The apartment grounds are full of many varieties of day lilies.




My apple mint is needing to be harvested. But since a nice spider was living on it for weeks, I've been hesitant. Soon...

      We had a cool day with rain yesterday, not sure if it's still around or not today. Geese, you all have weather changes that are simply unbelievable!

    ...day lilies are beautiful, but only for a day.

      True, and somehow they bloom in those huge bunches for weeks!

    No matter where I plant coleus they eventually bolt. I just pinch them out, or leave them for butterflies, hummingbirds, and to develop seeds for the next year. I once sold many of the seeds on Etsy.

      I've never had one go to seed, since I do pinch back the main shoot to encourage wider growth. And then when it gets huge, I usually take cuttings and start some new ones!

    So pretty! That geranium is a go-getter for sure.

    Lovely flowers! I’d like to have daylilies, but I didn’t plant any because they are toxic to dogs and my dog has no sense.
