Late July blooms









I've been posting all spring and summer with pictures of what is in bloom during the season at One Love Farm. From the crocus that can bloom when there is snow on the ground to the Black Eyed Susans that are in full color now and don't seem to mind the lack of rain, it has been an explosion of color this year. Right now, some of my favorites are in bloom. Like the under appreciated Russian Sage. It has delicate lavender blooms and almost gray foliage. It's wonderful sticky scent is a bonus. Also, the old time Rose of Sharon. If you are not familiar with this plant, ask your grandmother.

From top: Zinnia, Shasta Daisy, Russian Sage, Rose of Sharon (two pictures), Limelight Hydrangea, some water plant whose name I don't know and Black Eyed Susan.
