GARDEN BLOGGERS' BLOOM DAY - july

A walk through the Sun Garden, past the Rock Garden and out to the Monet Garden
View from the driveway of the Sun Garden
 
4 years ago there was no garden on the left-hand side, nor any cherry tree.

Yellow Heliopsis form a border around the whole are, not just this garden.

Blanket Flower, Poppy, Heliopsis, Sea Holly, Iris, Crocosmia, Liatris

Soon purple Liatris will join the blooms to make the colour combo complete.

The curved back border reflects where this garden was lawn 4 years ago.
A hot mess with Forget-me-nots taking over.
An endless supply of daylilies means they are always used in my planters.
