It’s the middle of the month and that means it’s time to show off some of the plants that are blooming in my garden.  The idea for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day (GBBD) came from Carol, the author of May Dreams Gardens blog.  At this time every month, fellow garden bloggers give each other a peak into their own gardens. 

Here in southwestern CT, it has been raining for what seems like forever.  Actually I think it has rained at some point for each day for the past 10 days at least.  And of course there is more rain in today’s forecast so I grabbed my camera and ran out into the garden between downpours.  So you will see all of my flowers are soaking wet and many of my photos look like I took them at night!

Amazon Jewel nasturtrium – I love the variegated leaves

Dwarf Goatsbeard (Aruncus aethusifolius)

A few Cornus kousa blooms – the deer nipped off most of them.

My climbing hydrangea (Hydrangea anomala petiolaris) covers the corner of our gardening shed and most of the fence right next to it

A mass of Anthony Waterer spirea

Spirea Shirobana blooms

Geranium Rozanne is just starting to bloom

Geranium 'Max Frei' starts blooming earlier than 'Rozanne'

'Red Fox' Veronica is a bright new addition to my garden

Coreopsis' Tequilla Sunrise' is just starting to bloom

A soggy white peony

I hope the sun is shining where you are, but even if it isn’t, Happy Bloom Day!
