Bloomin Tuesday- June 28th

At the end of June the garden is starting to fill out..
Stella D'oro lily


 The yellow of Stella  Combined with the Nicotiana, purple perfume  and  orange crush  marigold  is quite a striking look.

This combo  says  serene to me ,the pink Endless Summer  Hydrangea and the Pink Pirouette lily.




Sun lit White Bridal  Astilbe....



 Newly planted Hosta called Northern Exposure  (so apropos for this area of Canada)  I  purchased  on the garden club tour at Shades of Green hosta garden .Love hostas with   deeply quilted and ribbed leaves..
 This  hosta gets quite large might end up being the hosta that ate my garden...



Wonder what next weeks blooms will bring?
