What’s In Bloom today? Well, we have had soooo much rain, the flowers are going insane rigSalvht now!
1: Orlaya
Orlaya flowers, AKA white lace flower, are delicate and elegant blooms that add a touch of beauty to any garden or floral arrangement. I sowed the seeds in the fall and by sowed...I’m being generous! I actually just threw them out into the dirt...lol! They like full sun and don’t like a lot of water and they are pollinator magnets!
2: Rudbeckia flower
Rudbeckia, AKA Black-Eyed Susans, are a bright and cheerful addition to any garden and can often be mistaken for daisies and sunflowers. Rudbeckias are not only beautiful but also easy to grow, making them a popular choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners. They bloom throughout the summer and attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to your garden. Whether planted in borders, containers, or wildflower meadows, Rudbeckias are sure to bring a vibrant splash of color wherever they are planted.
3: Oakleaf Hydrangea
Oakleaf Hydrangeas are known for their large, showy blooms and distinctive oak-shaped leaves. The creamy white petals of the Oakleaf Hydrangea flower create a striking contrast against the dark green foliage, making them a standout feature in any landscape. This year, I think we will get lucky and actually be able to experience the blooms turn from cream to pink! They are beautiful in the landscape or as a cut flower, but I have the hardest time cutting the blooms off of these beauties! They are also a pollinator magnet and can tolerate full morning sun, partial sun, and once established, can also tolerate drought conditions.
4: Blackfoot Daisy
A beautiful flowering plant native to Texas and other parts of the southwestern United States. Blackfoot Daisies are a favorite in my garden as they bloom from spring to fall and create a stunning mound of bright, happy blooms that attract butterflies and bees! They are drought-tolerant and thrive in sunny, well-drained soils, making them great for xeriscaping!

6: Daylilies and snapdragons!
Daylilies are perennials that come in a variety of colors! They are named for their flowers, which typically last for only one day, only to be replaced by new blooms the next day. Snapdragons are known for their unique snap-like mouth shape when the sides of the flower are gently squeezed. These beautiful flowers also come in a variety of colors. Both of these can add beautiful pops of color and are relatively easy to grow and maintain, making them popular choices for gardeners of all skill levels. They thrive in well-drained soil and require regular watering to keep them healthy and blooming throughout the season. While daylilies are more sun-loving plants, snapdragons prefer sun to partial shade. Their contrasting shapes and colors create a visually appealing landscape that also serve to attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.
7: Salvia flower
Salvia also comes in a variety of beautiful shades. Not only are they visually appealing, but salvia flowers also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to the ecosystem's biodiversity. They are easy to grow, disease resistant, love full sun, well drained soils and can tolerate drought! They are truly a wonderful addition to any garden.
