June Garden

Love this philosophy!
The latest addition to my garden is this delightful little birdhouse, a gift from my  neighbor's two children. I noticed a bird sitting on the roof a few days ago, but so far no one has moved in. We may have put it up a little late for nest building, but we're all keeping an eye on it - just in case!




The mountain laurel is full of buds. As soon as we get some sun, I expect them to burst open.

Mountain Laurel
Sure enough - The buds opened up with a few days of sunshine!

June is a great month for a wide variety of flowers to be in bloom. Some open early, while others wait until mid-June.
Baptisia

Clematis vine

Salvia is the star of the show right now. The day lillies will take over next month.


Lupines, bellflower, scabiosa, and gerbera daisy are new additions this year.

Ice plant

The Rhododendron border has finally grown big enough that the deer no longer eat all the flower buds!

Siberian Iris buds

Cranesbill
Kousa Dogwood Tree

Peonies

Just as I hoped, a peek out the window this morning revealed my roses in full bloom!

Close up of this beauty!

All that's left to do now is sit back, enjoy, and look forward to what July will bring!
